Yes, in the 70's

1976 Three for two rule introduced to allow players fouled in the act of shooing to attempt a third fouls shot if either of the first two attempts miss.

There was also a 2 for 1 rule during that time. All defensive fouls were awarded a free throw or free throws. If a one shot foul was called and the defensive team was in the penalty situation, the shooter was awarded 2 shots to make 1.

Normally the only time you see a player get 3 free throws are after a player is fouled while shooting a 3 point shot and misses. There have been a lot of situations where 3 or more free throws are shot after multiple technical fouls or combinations of technical, flagrant and personal fouls.

It depends. In the NBA if a player is fouled inside the three point line where all shots are worth 2 points, he'll be awarded two shots at the line. If he's fouled at the three point line he is awarded three shots. However he will only go to the line if he was in the process of shooting if not, no free throw unless the team has a total of four fouls and every foul whether shooting or not is a trip to the free throw line.

If you are fouled while in motion of shooting the basketball then play stops and you go to the free throw line. Depending on the foul, you will get one, two, or three shots.

If you make the basket it only counts as one point, not two.
