Does your coach mean OH press doesn't carry over for an equipped lifter ?
I'm aware there is that school of thought in powerlifting and I certainly agree to be a great bencher you have to bench but for @starfish&coffee looking to get stronger and healthier it's a very valid movement .http://www.strengthsensei.com/why-specializing-on-overhead-pressing-is-beneficial/

My coach swears by upper back work (rows) and triceps work (board presses are great for that, work down 4 inch board, next week 3 then 2 then 1 then full range) to improve people's benches.
He finds OH presses don't carry over for many people, but that doesn't mean Kyle is wrong, they may work for you. If they don't, work on lats/back.
Just to confuse you even more :):)
