The biggest problem is not that coaches are using it as a punishment, it is that the only time a team or person is conditioning is because they are being punished! It is mandatory that before and after every practice my students condition, that has removed the negative connotation because they...
The reason they think it is easier is because they are doing their full wrong. The X-out is making them wait until the correct time and position to twist. If they applied that to their regular full it would probably fix their fulls and they will find them easier! The flip is more important...
Ok some simple things to think about. The position where your feet land in your round off or bhs depending on the skill prior to the whip controls a lot! you want your feet in front of your body that way you can rebound back to a flat back position. if you feel you are doing layouts your feet...

If you could post a video on youtube and then include the link, I will help in any way I can.
