How do you know what they are thinking? They're not likely to tell a parent or player.
Of course opinions will vary, but I doubt very much that college coaches have opposite opinions. To put it in terms of the PG rating system, I suspect that there are very few instances of one coach rating a player as an 8, while another rates the player as a 10.
Suppose a coach rates two players as nearly equally desireable. He still has to rank the two players, and so one gets an offer and the other doesn't. Trying to infer a coach's opinion based on offers is going to make you go crazy, because there just isn't enough information available to figure it out.
