Interesting to see that coaches want no ING if outside the tackle box. I wonder if they sent these to defensive coordinators. :)

Just the same, I remain strongly opposed to such a change.

I'm surprised by the low number of coaches that want to require blind-side blocks be open hand only.

Most of them didn't want it in Connecticut either.  But once it was in place, it became very popular.  Coaches discovered that it is very easy to teach and has no impact on the game except to make it safer.
