Should the coach have known this?

ultimately, these things happen and life goes on...the sun will still come up tomorrow and we'll all still get yelled at by everyone watching the game we're officiating...

Well, hopefully our partner[s] are the exception here.

If by charge, he meant player control foul (which is most typical), then he would have been correct up until about 5 years ago. There was a recent rule change that changed all TC fouls to no shots.
