Great teams rely on great drive teams, which rely on great coaches. If you are under the opinion that the three coaches are 'doing nothing', then perhaps you do not fully understand the importance of coaches.
The intent is not to necessarily make the human player the supercoach, but rather pull a human player to fill a missing coach position.
As far as "delaying putting a ball back into play," it's a valid concern. I personally don't think that balls will go out of play all too often (maybe once every handful of matches), but if it becomes a common occurrence, the alliance would have to carefully consider how/whether to assign a supercoach.
