The difference is that the BA038 crew was never trained for the "glider landing" situation, so there is no way you can demand that they should have known about best glide speeds. In contrast, the TK crew could have either just pushed the power levers or pushed the nose down for speed, before it was too late, but did neither despite they were most certainly trained for that situation.
