I've heard a top official/partner (multiple state tourneys) here state that if there is a foul before the throwin ends that it has to be intentional. The game where he said it had about 10 seconds left and the team getting the ball out of a timeout was up 1-2 and the other team would be fouling. While it could be intentional, I let him that there was no such rule that made it automatically intentional.

There are a lot of people at a lot of levels that believe some incorrect stuff.

I believe the NBA rule is somewhat similar to the FIBA rule in the last two minutes. That may be where some of the confusuion comes from.

In the NBA, if the defense fouls before the ball is released for the throw-in, it's an automatic two shots for the offended player. If the same situation happens in the final two minutes of regulation or overtime, it's consider an away-from-the-play foul which means one shot for any of the five players on the court at the time of the foul and possession of the ball.
