How many technical fouls can a player receive?

In the NBA, there is no cap on the total number of technical fouls you get during the season. But the NBA has penalties after you receive certain technical foul totals. After the 15th technical foul a player receives during the season, he is suspended for 1 game without pay. Consequently that player is suspended 1 game without pay for every other technical during the remainder of the season.

So if a player burns up his 2 possible technicals during the first 8 games of the season, his total techs will be 16. He would then miss the following game. With that rule in place, it's only possible for a player to get 74 technicals total getting his maximum 2 techs per game and factoring in suspensions after the first 15.

How does basketball scoring work?

Any shot made inside of the three point line is worth two points. If it is anywhere outside of the three point line it is worth three. If there is a foul or technical given and a free thrown is taken the shot is worth one point.

When a person is fouled while shooting in basketball do they get one free throw if the shot is missed?

Not always. Under HS Federation, NCAA, and NBA rules in order for a (non-shooting) fouled player to shoot free throws the offended team must be in "the bonus". "The bonus" is the number of fouls committed by the opposing team beyond which the ball is put into play by the fouled player attempting free throws rather than getting the ball out of bounds for a throw-in. The number of team fouls required to reach "the bonus" varies by sanctioning body but the principle remains the same. Hope this answers your question.

Quadriceps and hip flexors are the main thing. They have the combined action of driving your whole leg forward.
