Grampa ukai is more experienced but i think having a first year coach adds more to the story. I think coach ukais style is better suited for this team too.

One thing I definitely know for a fact is that being a better player doesn't necessarily mean they have the disposition to be a good coach. A real life example of this is Gregg Popovich, one of the greatest coaches alive. He never made it to the NBA as a player, but under his coaching he transformed the San Antonio Spurs. Better players don't make for better coaches. Advanced athletes who are able to breakdown, articulate, and teach their abilities and what they are able to do naturally are extremely, extremely rare, like Phil Jackson. Keishin was an average player but he's not a trash coach. Personal one-on-one tutoring for a basic concept doesn't equate to Gramps being a better coach for Karasuno as they are now. In fact if he suddenly replaced Keishin it would be detrimental because he doesn't know the team and their strategies the way Keishin does. Also the benefits of the coach will manifest themselves differently based on the players. Gramps style of coaching for high school competition isn't the style of coaching he uses for his casual classes. It's far more brutal, uncompassionate, and it's not realistic to expect Gramps to give each player the spoon-feeding that Shoyo got. Keishin may not have peak athletic ability but he has very high game IQ. Basically my point is that the metrics to evaluate a player and the metrics to evaluate good coaching are very different. If Keishin ends up taking his team farther than Gramps ever did, on his FIRST TRY, I think that says all we need to know about how great a coach Keishin is.

I hear you but I’m pretty sure ukai Sr took his team to nationals and they won. With the little giant, right? Also, when I look back at the show, Ukai never really gives his team any advice or strategies. It rare. Usually he just says “play aggressively!” That’s not enough for me to qualify him as a good coach. I would like him to give them more than that. Then again, it may be more useful for them because they have to figure it out alone and maybe those lessons stick better 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gramps took Karasuno to Nationals (the year Little Giant was on the team), but they didn't win, they lost in the 3rd round. Nekoma also lost in an early round. That's why Battle At The Garbage Dump is a dream matchup for both teams to meet at Nationals. (This was mentioned in passing by Takeda-sensei back in Season 1 during the episodes where they have their first practice matches with Nekoma.) Keishin doing a lot more than just saying telling them to play aggressively. He is the one who came up with the strategy to spread out Daichi and Noya on receives back when they played against Seijoh. He's the one who had Kageyama shift gear to practice drop sets to get that extra second. He's the one who had the blockers funnel the attacks straight to Noya. He's the one who decides on strategic rotations. Keishin is the one who told Tsukki to model his blocking timing/positioning over the spiker's dominant hitting arm the way Kuroo does. During the practice camp with Fukurodani Group schools, he's the one who had Daichi and folks study the movements of the Brazilian National team for combo attacks. Off the top of my head those are some really underrated and overlooked moments of golden coaching from our guy. He inspires, he nurtures, he strategizes, and yes, he also drills his team hard like his Grandad. I think he's doing a phenomenal job.
