interesting situation to explain to the offending teams coach why the other teams shooting the bonus, i would bet most coaches would also assume this to be a player control foul.

Back before the "team control" foul was introduced, I did a D3 college game in which we had a pass/crash, foul on the home team's passer. Visitors were in the bonus, so we shot 1-and-1. Later in the game, we have a player control foul on the visitor's dribbler. Obviously, no FTs.
And, of course, as luck would have it, I made both calls.
Home coach starts squawking at my partner. "How come they got FTs and we don't?!?!" He takes a TO and the R goes to explain it to him. After the TO, I take my position right next to the home coach. This was our exchange:
Me: Did my partner answer your questions, Coach?
Coach: Yeah, but that's a dumb rule. They shouldn't make you guys make that distinction.
Me: I agree, Coach. But that's the way the rule is written.
Coach: Well, then you can tell Hank Nicols to shove that rule up his @ss!
Me: Coach, Hank doesn't take my calls.
He laughed and that was it. Pretty funny moment for me.
