No Alan, this is incorrect (the part about which bet is protected is incorrect, but your answer of "Yes" to Coach Belly's question is correct). The Come Player's bet is protected with the horn bet on 12 (on the initial come out roll) not the Don't Player, who doesn't care if a 12 is rolled because it is just a push for his or her bet.
