The mechanic affects more than just how close you are standing to the front court coach.

The lead can see the benches and table pretty well. In cases where there are subs, the lead can get a glance over to see if there are any and help out the trail. And there's a view of the benches in case a melee is breaking out. I still don't see what the big deal is. People are making more out of this than there is. *shrug*
