Probably the coach would say: "Who's Fred Horgan? Show me the written rule."
The problem is, as I said, that the rule used to be written, but has disappeared.
It's a case similar to that of the rule about BI after a foul on the shooter: for a period of time it was legal to touch the ball after it had hit the ring and was still over ring level. Now it's not, because they realized to have forgotten to carry on the exception from a previous edition.
