They definitely need to look into what they can do keep consistency in how the game/rules are called that is all players and fans want.

It's not that they don't know how to keep consistency. It's that they don't want to do it. If they were more consistent, more transparent, and less ambiguous, it would make it harder to keep doing Game Management.
Distinct kicking motion is inherently a subjective term. The only way to establish the definition is through past precedence. On Coleman's goal, they completely ignored past precedence and pretended like this was the first ever goal of its kind. On so many other calls, they specifically refer to past precedence to justify their ruling, yet on this one, they somehow don't mention it at all.
