Coaches don't know the rules?

The rule would match 90+% of the coaches' understanding of the rule anyway.

Why should we change this rule just because coaches don't understand it? It's penalizing good defense.

In my eyes, it's just like OOB. If you're the last to touch in the FC (offensively), the division line is like OOB for you.
