I've decided not tell coaches that there's no such thing any more. The main reason, I've worked with officials who call this; officials they respect because they've seen quite a bit. Now, they are calling actual fouls, they're just reporting it as over-the-back.
So, if I were to tell a coach there's no over-the-back and my partner proceeds to call it; I'm the one who loses credibility. Now, my response is simpler. "There was no foul on that play, coach."
