As you have probably noticed... Most of the responses to your "mislabeled thread" were satirical in nature, because we get tired of repeatedly addressing the common myths. Thanks for your sincere interest in learning more (from an official's point of view).
Having said that... There is no such foul as "Over the Back" identified in the rulebook; (Nor is there a "Climbing the ladder" mechanic) however, unfortunately, too many officials continue to propogate the myth by making statements (and gyrations) like the one you listed above and the masses wholeheartedly embrace it. The correct terminology and mechanic is a "Push".
Coach, if you have not already purchased a rulebook, I suggest you get one. It will help you and your players immensely.
Best wishes
