Later in the second quarter, he does it again.

I didn't have the heart to correct him in front of his players.

This is a widespread misconception that should be corrected. You normally have ample opportunity to get a coach's attention and quietly inform him - doesn't have to be right when he is saying it. But this is one where I would explain the rule - cause not even all refs get this one right.
You are right, there is widespread misunderstanding on the throw-in rules, but I no longer bother explaining this one unless asked by the HC. The reaction I get when explaining this is always shocked disbelief, like I just told him there is no Santa Claus.
