Another way I use to handle coaches that don't get this is to say that every batted ball has to be something, and there has to be a rule that makes it that. We know the definition of a foul tip; if that, it is live, and treated as a swing and miss. We know the definition of a foul ball; if that, it is a dead ball, and a strike.

Everything else is a live ball as long as it is in live ball territory. All batted balls that aren't either a foul tip or a foul ball must then be a live ball. And all live batted balls caught before touching part of the field or an offensive player can be caught for an out.
