Just to piggy back off of bruchu, "generally" when a coach teaches in the district, it allows he/she to interact personally with the players off the court easier. I suppose the size of the school plays a role in that equation as well, but I see my players all the time. they know that I am watching them in the hallways, in the classroom and at lunch. Plus, it allows me to make connections with them outside of basketball. Not to say that a coach who is not a teacher is not able to accomplish those things as well.

Not just that, but In my short time as a head coach, I have found that 90% of my non-basketball related duties need to be done at the school through administrators or office staff. Being at the school as a teacher eliminates phone-tag games, miscommunications and allows many of these mundane task to be finished in a matter of minutes rather than hours or days. Having done both, the teacher/coach thing is quite a bit easier to manage.

The only way you can be a head coach in Texas/Louisiana/Oklahoma/New Mexico is if you are a certified teacher, in public schools. You can coach at a private for about 1/2 the money. I enjoy teaching, but I love coaching and sometimes there isn't enough time for either in the day.
