After giving this a thought, I came to conclusion that the problem (at least usually) is not in coordination between teams, it's a lot more about not maintaining proper formations. Friendly fire does happen, at some times it is inevitable, but we sure could have a lot less of it. Everyone should stay alert on the teamspeak channels and VOIP. If your VOIP doesn't work, make sure your team leader knows so he can forward the messages to the whole team. I've had a incident where I called out clearly on teamspeak and VOIP that I'm going to run to a small enemy outpost to get AT before the tank comes in, because the base seemed clear at the moment. As soon as I got to the first bunkers wall, I was shot in the back by team mates. And I don't mean any single person with this, a lot of times I can hear the squad leader calling for someone 5 times and then after a while the guy responds. Listen to the comms god damn it! (Set them up so, that you can hear everything from teamspeak even if you are in a chopper)
We often play as one squad or one squad broken into two teams. Very Very often some guys sprint in front of the formation, don't know whether it's to score kills or to get into the action, but it really often causes a lot of problems. Problems in advancing and keeping the approach stealthy. And in worst case scenario he is so much ahead of the squad, without informing rest of us, that he gets shot to the back because he is where the enemies are supposed to be.
And I don't know about the rest, but if I'm leading, I'm expecting everyone to stay in a line if so is said. You should only sprint if you are dragging behind or if you make a small sprint for cover. But even then you shouldn't be more than 5 meters ahead of you team leader. Yesterday we had a pretty open formation at the time I was leading, so nobody did anything wrong there.
