Before they added the 3rd FT on a fouled 3 pt attempt that missed, it probably was like that. Rare to see, so he probably answered on the fly.

Way back when they added the 3-point shot, the questions about how many free throws for a foul on a missed 3-point attempt, how many shots on a successful 3-point attempt, how many shots on an intentional foul on a successful 3-point attempt, how many shots on an unsuccessful 3-point attempt, etc. all had to be clarified during the first year, and in the book the second year. Because it wasn't in the book to award 3 shots on a missed 3-point attempt, there were instances in games where the strategy was to go ahead and foul the shooter - so the most he/she could score would be 2 via the free throws. It made for some interesting moments during games.
