What rules aren't being enforced due to different coordinator's philosophies?

I would say this is never going to happen, but never say never... So, I will say: This is extremely unlikely to happen any time in the near future. (Assuming by "overseeing" you mean "assigning", which I believe is a fair assumption since John Adams does have "oversight" of officiating nationwide already.

The NCAA controls the tournament because it is their tournament. Conferences control their conference games because it is their conference. Coaches / schools agree which officials to use for non-conference games because those schools have control over those games (generally they agree to use the home conference officials, but not always).

It's all about control — and there is more interest by the conferences in being able to control their own product than there is in nationwide uniformity. Not that conferences do not want to have consistency around the nation — I just don't think they are willing to give up their control to see that happen.
