So no one gets too confused, this isn't actually illegal. I've considered it as a way of training other HPs in practice matches. I'm not sure of any uses other than that, but they can pass to each other within the island as well. There's also nothing that prevents an alliance station human player (or even one of the many animatedly-gesticulating island HPs) from offering coach-like advice to theirs or another team.
That said, I've reffed events where is seems like fully half or more of the HPs don't have a clue what they're doing the first time they come out. If I had a nickle for every "so what do I do?" question right before auto starts (and a penny for every delayed start, and a dime for every "where do I stand?", and a dollar for every
mid-match "can I throw this in?"*...) By my count, I'd be uniquely rich this year vis-a-vis the rest of my reffing history. Haven't figured out why yet.
*"You can correctly re-enter an out of bounds ball whenever you think it's appropriate." "...So, Now?" "...Whenever you want" "...But now?" "...Wheneveryouwant(!)" ..."uhh" ...Well, not now, the match is over.
As I said, stressful for all parties.
