I will be waiting for you to prove if men aren't better coaches why do they hold more head coaching positions on all levels of tennis?
More coaches of one gender or sex/= all men are better coaches in a specific comparison (which is what we are doing). Again 7 of the last 10 nat'l champs are female coaches. Yeah, they must all suck. Clearly, whatever male coach we are comparing to female must be better [/sarcasm]
Your lack of logic and reasoning skills is astounding.
To be clear, this conversation isn't about coaches of male players. I agree with you that generally speaking a male is probably going to be a better coaches of males in tennis. But then again, in a specific comparison, you still can't just rely on that to say someone is better.
But the question is by default (do you know what that means?), is just because someone is male makes him a better coach than a female we are coming him to. Because you are arguing because this current assistant is male he is a better coach of female players than this other female coach. Relying on that to prove your case is ridiculous. It is pure troll.
Now if you think the present assistant coach is a better recruiter (point to examples), better technician (explain why), or coaches up players better- I'm all ears. Honestly, I have no opinion either way at the moment who is better. All I do know is the mere sex of a coach is not going to convince me one coach is better than another. You'd be an absolute fool to turn down the caliber of coach such as Sampras, merely because she's a woman.
