Your statement may be a bit of an oversimplification. While it is in fact correct, you really have to make sure that you do actually have a player control foul.
What I mean by that is what looks like a PC may technically not be a PC and then your rule of thumb could easily be misapplied.
For example, when two fouls make a double foul, they lose their individual features and are treated as a totally new animal, which has it's own specific penalty. (This is NOT the case for a False Double foul.) If you read 4.19.7C, you will see how many people could be mislead by your above statement. The first sentence of the ruling says, "Even though airborne shooter A1 committed a charging foul, it is not a player-control foul because the two fouls result in a double personal foul." Therefore, an official would be wrong to negate a shot for this foul.
My prior knowledge of that sentence actually tricked me in the post-game discussion with my partner. Simply because I knew that there is a time when a player commits what appears to be a PC and the basket DOES count. I just confused this case book play with the one blindzebra cited.
As can be seen from that play, each foul of the false double is penalized separately and retains the all penalties that we normally associate with it, specifically the PC cancelling a made goal.
Looking back on that post-game, I can really understand what some coaches go through in a game. Most of them know just enough rules to get them into trouble. They read a paragraph, remember part of it, and are sure they are right about the rule. Only later do they find out that what they knew doesn't apply to the situation in question.
So, I find myself truly grateful to blindzebra for correcting me. I would much rather have to go to an official friend of mine and tell him that I was mistaken in our post-game, than to have really embarrassed myself by screwing up a game.
