The fact that coaches didn't seem to understand it in the summer is irrelevant. Since when do coaches understand anything about rules? There are only a couple new rules to deal with this year, and they are all pretty easy to understand and implement.

If it's not that hard to grasp, then why did I have a coach who also refs debating that I should be applying the rule?  I agree, it's not that tough....I think the biggest thing is that it's different than what we're used to but it's not tough.

Many coaches do not get the 3-second rule either and that one's been in there for a while. After the first few games, the less clueless coaches will start to get it and the other's will still be yelling about "over the back" and "reaching" anyway.
