And if folks across America are letting coaches sit above the 28 ft line why are they not T'ing them up the first time they stand up during a live ball?

I never said that HCs all across the country are starting their games outside the 28-foot Coaching Box.
My own personal experience over the years have been to remind the HCs in my pre-game meeting that of where they need to be at the start of the game so as to not lose the CB.
That said, two times this year in FR games in which I was evaluating the officials where a HC started the game sitting outside of the CB. In both games the HC moved into the CB almost immediately after the game started and stayed within the CB for the remainder of the game. I talked about the situation with the game officials at Halftime. Neither of them were aware if the CB Ruling nor were they aware that the HC had started outside the CB.
I will not say that this is an obscure rule, but in my experience it rarely happens.
