I disagree with your assignor on how he wants the boundary plane violations and T's called, but it's his perogative to dictate the tone in the games he assigns.
The coach, on the other hand, isn't talking about a Game, he's talking about what gives him that little flutter of thrill. His opinions should have no weight at all.

I disagree.
Any coach, any good coach anyways, wants to win. Winning is their "flutter of thrill" (I'm assuming coaches above some level btw). One key to winning is knowng what things can & can't be done on the court. Consistency. If *EVERYONE* called the T for reaching over then the coach would not say "Oh, only Chuck calls it that way". He would say "That never happens to me, I coach my team to defend a throw-in without reaching in".
