That’s how my coaches taught me.

100% how most every player is taught. It is done so to make it tough on the fielders and puts the judgement on the umps to rule on it. Exactly why there's chalked lines and a clearly written rule with an exception to avoid contact. What should be the deciding factor is there is now replay to confirm the ump's judgement in deciding such cases. Last night there appeared to be a ruse of such replay.
