If your coach sucks, you're going to have to train yourself. At most high schools, the coach is just some guy who happened to run some weekend 5ks and has never studied the sport. You'll have more work than a kid who goes to a school with a good coach, but that is how it is.
True, and not complete. A large portion of high school coaches are people "willing to.." coach a certain sport when the school has no one else. Some turn into great coaches. Most do not, and try to BS their way through practices. However, don't blame the coach. Most are only doing it because no one else would, and the school needed someone, anyone to step up.
