Trust me, coaches taught that in the 60s and 70s too.

Yep. This didn't suddenly change with the change in enforcement of DPI. Regardless of whether you get an automatic first down or not, DPI has always been a better option than giving up 6 points. 

And really, I don't think you'll suddenly see teams taking holding penalties to protect field position. Too much going on and to keep track of for offensive players (you'll need to know where the QB is, what the LOS was, and where you are at) all to save a few yards. There aren't that many situations where QB's are getting sacked more than 10 yards behind the LOS anyway, unless it's related to a bad snap, or fumble.

As much as the KHSAA tries it's difficult to get every association and official on the same(correct) page. The problem with this change is if an OL or RB holds on a scramble 11 yards or more behind the LOS keeping the defense from sacking the QB the enforcement favors the offending team correct?

This is now the same rule as the NFL in regards to how they enforce holding. Which I don’t remember really anyone ever complaining about how the NFL enforces their holding calls. IMO they finally got it right by changing to the now current rule, which is the same as the NFL in regards to holding and how it is enforced.

This! 

Judgement calls that then get reviewed by having luxury of slow motion video by social media accounts. Not sure why anyone would want to be a ref. In St. X vs. Male there was a fumble by St. X that in full speed looks like player was down before fumble but video in slow motion shows it was a fumble. I saw it being shared on social media with Male fans not happy. I'm sure the refs want to get it right. I would think holding rule change would be known pretty well beforehand since holding is frequent penalty in a game.
