Apparently, your safety, the coach's safety, and the players' safety is not an issue here, let alone being able to officiate without physical barriers.
There's a big difference between having one foot on the court and being ten feet out on it. Also, sometimes the coach is standing out of bounds, but close to the line, and I might be running up out of bounds - I'm not going to penalize him if we collide.

As to how far - I need to be there to see it.
