Coaches are complaining about the rule, but very rarely do they complain about the call because they know there isnt any discretion. When this type of contact occurs, there will be a minimum of FF1. Now, everytime this happens, the coaches will be lobbying the officials that it should not be a FF, and as coaches are known to do, they will try to compare the penalty their player recieves to the player recieved by a player from the other team, even when the plays are not similar. The way the rule is now, you tell them contact with moving elbow above the shoulders, FF, and move on. They might not like it, but they know there is nothing to argue about. If changed, everyone of these calls is going to be a battle with a coach. Just adds more headache to a situation that was fairly easy to handle the way the rule is currently.
