Finding that line of when to take control and when not to is always difficult, especially depending on the type of organizational culture that is present.

A coach should guide the team, but offer them a clear Focus. AND learn them to set a clear focus themselves. This is already in your blogpost when I read between the lines, but I think this is that important that it could be mentioned explicitly.
