I recently had a partner that used your way of thinking during games, "never heard of that coach" was his reply to the made up terminology... boy did it made for a long 4 game set. Instead of working with the coach, he choose to be smarter than he needed to be.
Of course "over the back" is nowhere to be found in the rulebook, but we all know exactly what the coach means. A simple no push or no contact there coach would do just fine.
Same for a "jump stop" when the coach wants the travel... legal movement, no violation there coach is suffice.
Rules knowledge, game management & common sense go a long way.
