As in math, there is an order of operations that can help with coordination: articulation, then bow. articulation, the placement of the fingers, bow, self explanatory. As with sight reading, it also helps to think ahead as you advance and prepare to place your fingers a few notes ahead at minimum, and if a difficult passage, a couple measures ahead. When working with etudes, breathing also becomes important, and as Mimi Zweig nearly sermonizes: relax, relax, relax. Play the etudes slowly, until you can incorporate all this, and it 'should' help.
