Igonorance is no excuse, however ...
I see this A LOT in youth leagues especially with the entry level teams. Usually it's a (seemingly) well intentioned coach who doesn't seem to know where the coaching box is located nor it's dimensions. First dead ball opportunity I usually have a quiet conversation with the coach about coaching box boundaries and from that point on we're good for the game.
MS/JV/V I expect the coaches to know the rule and act accordingly without reminders.
