Wanting to kick out of bounds is a fairly hypothetical situation and not very likely to happen much. It would, in my opinion, be fine to simply not allow that.

Another option would be to have a special out of bounds overlay icon near the edge where the ball is going out. This would, of course, have to take into account the situation where the on-board scatter is near the same edge.

Either way, it's a problem that can be solved.

what about the rare situation where you have to kick out of bound due to the angles, in this case, i guess it just happens automatically

Absolutely. If there is no choice, the coach shouldn't be asked anything.

or have a pop up just for this case: "Do you want to cause a touchback? Yes-No"

the only time i could see a out of bounds kick being useful is if u are playing against so few players and you want an opposing player on the LOS with the Ball. Perhaps with DT or tents around... who knows Very Happy

Another alternative would be if the ball would land on a player otherwise.

Kicking out of bounds can definitely be a smart play in some scenarios, such as making sure the ball is closer to you on a decimated receiving team (3 players left on LoS), or if the player puts his hole line on the LOS, or depending on offensive formation etc. etc.
