Have you ever tried to explain advantag/disadvantage to a coach, and has it worked?

Most coaches around here understand it, and only cry for "over the back" when their guy doesn't get the rebound (if only they could understand it's legal to reach over someone).
Rebounding is a good place to begin to apply it. Other good examples:
1. A1 driving into the lane and gets his arm slapped as he gets past the defender, but the slap has no affect on the drive.
2. Shooter underneath, defender jumps with him and bodies slightly bump; but there's no discernable affect on the shot.
3. A1 driving into the lane and runs into a defender with LGP (or stationary), but doesn't displace the defender.
