With line violations, I call them every time, in my mind the principle of advantage/disadvantage doesn't apply to this rule. It is a clear violation. Foot over the line.
If the shooter can't do it, why would you let anyone else??
As for the coach, just say, "Coach I didn't see it, but I'll watch for it next time"
No need to explain that you're not calling it because it had no bearing on the play or any other BS like that, because what he's hearing is that you're directly ignoring a rule that is benefitting the other team, and he's not going to like that. Call it consistantly and according to the rules, and the players will stop stepping on the lines, or carrying the ball or the other stupid things they do.
