If C has to wait for SS to get to the base before making the throw, they're giving up free bases. If I'm the opposing coach, I'm going to take advantage of it. All day long.
Catchers should be on automatic throw as soon as they possibly can in that situation. It's SS's job to get there. If SS isn't getting there in time to catch the throw, I'm either chewing on the SS or finding someone else to do the job.
If, for some reason, the coach wants C to hold the ball, it needs to be communicated.
