If a defender is penalised a unsportsmanlike foul and the defensive team is on five fouls how many shots does the offensive team have. Thanks in advance

if the unsportmans foul is off the ball - yes a team could have up to 5 free throws - i.e. 3 point shooter is fouled and another player fouls in an unsportmanlike 3+2

Just 2-3 weeks ago saw one that blew me. Similar to that last example. 76ers' game v ?. Imbib shoots a 3 from the corner and (think) Innis gets fouled under the ring. 3 point counted AND INNIS WENT TO THE LINE FOR AN "AND-ONE". Commentators called it and that's what happened. Now, I am no officiando but thought that that was a 'funny' call. But so does everyone else I've asked.
If Embiid has started his act of shooting when the foul on Ennis occurred its not an uncommon situation . If the basket goes in it counts and if the defensive team are in the bonus it 2 shots to Ennis.
The answer to the OP is no. An unsportsmanlike foul has its own defined penalty. If the defensive team are in the bonus it is irrelevant.

How about if the buzzer to end the game occurred just as the unsportsmanlike foul happened. What is the scenario there.

robt that isn't rare. A memborable NBL example is in the 2003 Grand Final Series Game 2 when Heal for the Kings scored a three vs. Wildcats and some other King got fouled under the basket for foul shots. OP is asking something different which is way more technical.

Sorry my original post and reply 453 should have been together. This scenario happened in a game last nite. I thought we should have also had 2 free throws as the game ended with us taking only 2 free throws from the unsportsmanlike foul. We then had no other advantage as the game ended. Hoping some one might clarify as I looked up Fiba rules to no avail. Thanks again.
You don't get to do le up. If the foul itself results in foul shots you don't get the bonus penalty for the team being over 5.
Just as if the foul occurs during a shot you don't get 4 shots when a team is over the 5 team foul limit.
