There's a variety of free throws that can come off of fouls. If a players is fouled in the act of shooting a two point field goal, and misses, he is allowed 2 shots. If he/she is fouled in the act of a three point field goal, and misses, he/she is allowed 3 shots. If the player makes a field goal and is fouled, he/she gets one shot. If the player is fouled while his/her team is in the bonus, where the other team has a certain amount of fouls, he/she gets a one-and-one where he/she gets one shot and only gets the second shot if he/she makes the first one. If the player is in the double bonus, another set amount of team fouls on the other team, they are allowed two shots.

The shot clock begins at 24 seconds and counts down, if that's what you're asking.
