Best Answer

A free throw is a free shot (shot at the free throw line) awarded for a few circumstances. If a player is fouled while shooting (or the fouling team is over the foul limit), then the player will shoot two or three free throws depending on where they were standing when they shot the ball. A free throw is also awarded to the best free throw shooter when the other team receives a technical foul.

only if the offensive player is in the act of shooting when fouled, or if the defensive team is over the foul limit when they foul the offensive player.

It is when you get fouled when you tried to shoot and you go to the free throw line and shoot 1,2, or 3 times depending on what shot you take. Each shot counts for 1 point.

How do you score three points in one basket?

you get 3 points in one basket when you shoot the ball outside the big semi-circle in the court. Three points can happen not only by this mechanism. when you are shooting the ball and you get fouled, if the ball goes in, you will get a call "foul in" that means your basket counts. and you will get 1 attempt at the free throw line for 1 point.
