Officials were (umm, allegedly):
1) Rating some officials too high ("helping out a friend")
2) Rating some officials too low ("screwing the enemies / helping out a friend in 'competition' with the official")
3) Rating some officials even though they hadn't seen them work (in conjunction with 1 and 2)

What's to prevent coaches from doing similiar things?

Nothing, but I don't think there's the same level / amount of personal issues between coaches / officials -- that is, a coach isn't likely to rate all officials from one association as a "1" (the highest) just because the officials are from that association.
As Jeff alluded, the coaches ratings are more spread, reflect experience (a new official is more likely to get a lower rating and is more likely to be a worse official than an experienced veteran -- and I recognize that there are plenty of exceptions to that rule), and more mirror the "top-15 lists" that coaches, assignors and associations submit.
