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.
