They call the intentional foul, count the basket, shoot the "and 1" free throw, clear the lane and shoot two free throws and award A the ball at mid-court.

#2 - A1 is fouled while shooting a 3-point shot and the basket is not made. They rule the foul as intentional. They clear the lane and shoot three freethrows and award A the ball at mid-court.

I usually doubt the coach's version of events that happened in a previous game.

I usually doubt the coach's version of events that happened 5 seconds ago.

Intentional foul is ALWAYS 2 shots plus the ball except on a missed 3 point attempt.

NFHS
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

Here's where you could potentially have a 5-point play, intentional foul on successful 3-pt try, with 2-FT. Bingo. 5-pts real fast.
