Good way to get fouls on your players. The defensive player loses legal guarding position when they place a foot OOB, thus all fouls are their responsibility.

It is not accurate to say all fouls are their responsibility.

Back before this rule changed, my college coach used to teach cutting off baseline drives by having one foot on the baseline or OOB.

Now that the rule has changed, that's no longer legal.

He's coaching HS Freshman boys now, so I made sure to remind him that this rule has changed since he last coached.

Three Feet ...

Maybe the coach is confusing, misunderstanding, or overemphasizing, this rule:

4-7-2-C: There must be reasonable space between two defensive players or a
defensive player and a boundary line to allow the dribbler to continue in
his/her path. If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater
responsibility for the contact.
