Ivy and NESCAC coaches have their greatest influence during the EA/ED process and as a result most recruits go that route (and in fact, in the Ivies, the top recruits receive a Likely Letter more than two months prior to the time EA/ED decisions are released). The risk in waiting to apply RD is that the coach may have filled his/her roster by then. If you need to go the RD route for the reasons you’ve stated, you may in fact lose whatever athletic hook that may otherwise have been available.
