Although I'm not a fan of Doctor.K I'm sure they wouldn't have hired him to be the Protoss Couch if they weren't confident in his abilities to couch. That being the key here, maybe he wasn't the best player, but that doesn't mean he didn't have the strategical prowess and great game analyzing ability. Maybe he just wasn't fast enough, didn't have the drive to practice hours on end, etc.

It's coach, not couch. I had to point it out because it was kinda hard to take your post seriously due to that typo lol.
Being a progamer or not doesn't matter much. All it matters is the result. We can clearly see the impact that Boxer/Oov had on Fantasy and the new Zerg coach on the SKT Zerg lineup. We can also see the impact that Head Coach Park made on SKT as Park magically turned SKT from a bottom rank team to grand champion.
And we can also clearly see that Bisu/Best suffered significant performance loss since the absence of Kingdom. Whatever the case, in all likelihood, Doctor.K isn't as good a coach as Kingdom.
