Just for clarification, the shooter collided with the defender prior to his feet returning to the floor. It was a pretty good collision. I concur that there would have been no PC if the shooters feet had hit the floor first.
In regards to the coach coming out on the floor, I did not have a problem with it for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, there were probably only 2' from the line to the bench--this is an old gym that I played in nearly 30 years ago. The coach can't very well stand up without stepping on the court.
Second, the coach was not challenging the call and was not being disrespectful. No big deal, in my opinion.
Good thought about not quoting chapter and verse, because it may be expected more often. I got caught up in the excitement of just being able to do so! ;-)
