What happens when a player is fouled while shooting?

When a player is fouled while attempting a shot, they are generally awarded free throws based on the type of shot they were attempting. If the player was fouled during a two-point shot attempt and the shot does not go in, they will receive two free throws. If the foul occurs during a three-point shot attempt, the player is awarded three free throws if the shot does not go in. Alternatively, if the shot is successful despite the foul, the player is awarded one additional free throw, often referred to as an "and-one" situation. This rule aims to penalize the fouling player and reward the fouled player for their attempt at scoring.

The other options do not accurately reflect the rules of basketball regarding fouls during shooting attempts. Substituting a player out of the game for being fouled is not a standard procedure; the game continues with the player remaining on the court to take their free throws unless they are injured. While the game will pause for the free throw process, calling a timeout is not a direct result of a shooting foul. Lastly, players do not receive warnings from referees for being fouled while shooting; fouls are a part of the game and are assessed based on the level of the infraction
