That's kind of along the lines of "foul a player before the shot with a 3-point lead and 5 sec left, but don't foul him in the act of shooting". It's a lot easier to look at it postmortem than in the heat of battle. In theory that is correct, but that would have been hard for a player to recognize and execute in the moment. Either you call timeout on the rebound, or you live with the chaos (good or bad).
