His (if he knew) failure to speak up ended up costing him.

Coach B might not have had any idea it was a Team Control foul. The situation in question was a foul on A1 during a scramble for an interrputed dribble.

Last night in HS game, we had a player from Team A have the ball knocked away on the dribble by Team B. As A1 and B1 went for the ball, A1 fouled B1. Incorrectly, we awarded B1 the bonus.

If the officials lost track of the situation what makes you think Coach B didn't lose track also? As is often correctly stated in this forum, coaches don't know the rules as well as we officials do. Why all of a sudden in this scenario would it be incumbent on Coach B to question the application of a rule? It is our job to get it right, not the coaches. And how the correctable error rule is written, often times a team can get screwed because of our foul-up.
