Perhaps I am not in my right mind -- but I did, many times. I may have had one or two other things in it (which could also have fit in my "personal item" bag, but I wanted that roller bag for things I would buy when traveling which might break.
On my return flights, heading to Tel Aviv, I was not worried about whether my coat would return in time and I did put it in my checked baggage. At the worst, I would have been a little chilly without it. On the way out of the country, it definitely had my coat inside of it.
