Basically what thats saying is that instead of having an arc drawn on the floor, that play is a block everytime. No matter how long they were standing there. After hearing that I fully agree with that philosophy

Unfortunately, if he really said that then he is going completely against the current NCAA rules as written. That is completely contrary to what is in the NCAA rulebook. That used to be the Womens' rule and even they changed it to match the Mens rule last year. NCAA rules go by legal guarding position everywhere on the court, including under the baskets.
If he did say that, then that might just make it a tie for the stoopidest statement ever made by any Coordinator anywhere.
I'll believe it when I read it in the rules, an AR or in a rules bulletin.
