I frequently see this attitude by coaches in football on the HS level, treating everything pre-HS as if it's just prep for later interscholastic play. Meanwhile those who coach at lower levels point out that if most of the players will never play on a HS team, it makes more sense to coach them for the level they are playing at. College coaches don't treat interscholastic play as just prep for college.
30-40% will go on to play freshman basketball in HS here. I'm not arguing that he shouldn't coach them for that level, either - I just observe that his players have to do a lot of correction if/when they get there.
