EOC coasting in gear

I'm wondering if i installed an injector cut-off switch and left the engine in gear for coasting, I could then simply turn the injectors back on and the engine would start? Assuming there was still spark being delivered?

I would still EOC in neutral sometimes because it's more efficient when I know I can coast for a while , but it may be more convenient to be able to start the car just by flipping a switch instead of bump starting. It would allow for more engine off coasting in town where you still want to have full brake power.
