No, you're misinterpreting what he said. Red didn't say that they would call fouls for
legal plays. He said that they would call fouls if there was
illegal off-ball contact on the cutter, and that's exactly what happened. The defender fouled the cutter and got called for it.
If your players legally get to the spot first, you'll never have a problem. If they don't legally get there, they'll get called. Whatever coaching verbiage that you're using isn't really relevant at all. Just because you teach your players not to foul is no guarantee that they won't.
