A quick explanation that the autopilot dropped out and they climbed and then entered a stall may have been sufficient to give the Captain the required situational awareness.
That's the problem, they didn't know they were "stalled".

You're right though, a quick briefing by the PNF may have helped, but on the other-hand he probably thought the PF would do it.
