there are NOT much coaches that are at least on an above average level.
that's why Bonkar has a shit ton of options even tho he hasn't accomplished much
how will this affect the teams in the near future?

The are not a lot of VCT coaches to choose from because it's a very competitive space to get into. There are five professional player slots. There is one head coach spot and usually one ac spot. This means not only is there limited space but limited amount of people with experience. Some orgs can say "I trust you" and others just rotate people in and out.
On top of this, the amount of noise that exists around coaching it is hard to gauge whether or not a coach is doing a good job or if it is the players. The players are sort of held hostage to praise their coaching staff as they ultimately determine whether the players stay on the team. The structure is bad and its displaying it for everyone to see.
What we are missing are coaches with knowledge of tactical fps as a genre. The closest we get are coaches who were previously players but that does not guarantee that the player-coach can teach what they so easily wielded to be successful.
Yeah I don't think that it's not possible. A good coach is a personality type. Crazy patience and a desire to see people succeed despite the sacrifice from you.
I think a lot of people discount coaching because they've been around teachers most of their lives and it's hard to see the value in what they do if you get it everyday for free.
