I didn't realize that it continued into the '80s, but yes. The rule used to be that a player was awarded one free throw for every foul. On the 7th foul of the half, a player would shoot one free throw and, if successful, would be awarded one more.

This applied to ALL personal fouls, including those committed by the player in control of the ball.
