How Many Free Throws?

Incorrect.

The penalty for an intentional foul is two shots and the ball. The only case where this is not true is on a missed three point shot.

Do you have a rule reference?

Don't have my 2010 books nearby so you'll have to accept the casebook play from last year. The rule hasn't changed.

4.19.3 Situation A: B1 is charged with an intentional foul on A1 who is in the act of shooting: (a) a successful two-point or three-point try; (b) an unsuccessful two-point try; or (c) an unsuccessful three-point try. RULING: In (a) and (b) A1 is awarded two free throws. In (c), A1 is awarded three free throws. In all situations following the free throws, Team A is awarded a throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul.

Thank you. That's what I get for looking in the wrong place.

NFHS rule 10-6 PENALTIES (Rule 10 Summary) #4 on p.64 of the rule book. This is a good reference section for any and all of your free throw penalty questions.

For what it's worth, I had a game last spring that had an intentional foul on a made shot (wrapped arms around his waist on a lay-up), and this team was also expected a third free throw, due to the made basket.

That caught me by surprise, but perhaps this is a more common myth than I suspected.
