I wasn't aware of the no-handoff/no-pitch problem with player lock on the QB; I play true coach mode in offline dynasty and it doesn't happen in that mode. My only thought is you might try play now or practice mode and use player lock on another player and see if it still happens.
I dropped kick power and accuracy in a vain attempt to make my kicker a little less perfect; that hasn't accomplished anything for me in coach mode. Still nearly perfect.
I also usually supersim on defense; if you play defense in coach mode, you might need to lower the opponent's running back ability.
Thank you, that is super helpful. My only problem with Coach mode v. Auto-Pass is the camera angle. In my quick test I ran I couldn't figure out a way to change the camera(from that sideline view,) is it even possible?

No you can't change the camera in coach mode. You are stuck with the sideline view.
