I think that this is poor advice. The rules clearly instruct the official to call and penalize this common foul which happened before the quarter ending horn sounded.
Just because the player can't legally catch and shoot, doesn't mean that the opponent should be allowed to foul him without penalty.
Call the nonshooting foul and award the bonus if necessary.
