Am I right?

Yes, but it should not be signaled as a charge, because the player didn't have control of the ball any more (use the push signal and DON'T do the punch). If the ball is in the air for a try, a foul doesn't cause it to become dead, independent on who commits the foul. If the offended team is in the bonus, shoot 2 FT at the other basket.
In these situations, allow the basket only if there is no doubt whatsoever that the ball left the shooter's hands before the contact. In doubt, call a charge and disallow the basket.
