"I would chose a school and not the coach. A great coach can prepare you for 4-5 years of athletic greatness. A great school can prepare you for your next 40 or 50 years of success."

I see your point but I do think a good coach is helpful in ways that extend way beyond sport."

That is undeniable. Consider for a moment that the majority of recruiting is done by assistant coaches and assistant coaches tend to be mobile. Obviously it would be ideal to have a great school and a great coach, but if forced to prioritize one should definitely consider that there is a possibility that there will be changes before your 5 years are up and it isn't the school. Just a thought."

Good point.

I guess it depends on how good I am.
If I'm good enough and committed enough to the sport that wrestling is likely to be my career, I'm going Ohio State or Penn State (shocker).
If I'm anything below that level, I'd either go to my state school (if from a Big 10 state with a solid school--OSU, PSU, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin) or look to the Ivies (Penn would be my pick of those at the moment).
Every one of these places has high level coaching. Without personal experience being coached by them, it's pretty much impossible to draw distinctions.
