Personally, I am a non-believer in coaching/tutoring - I always have been, and always will be. I got into selective without tutoring, I've worked my butt off throughout high school, and I don't intend on ever getting a tutor.
I push myself, and want to be able to say 'I did the HSC without anyone else's help and just relied on support from my teachers.'
As I think it has been mentioned on here before, perhaps banning coaching and tutoring would be a good idea - personally, I think it would be interesting to watch the decline of many students who have risen to the top only due to the extra pushing of their tutor/extra resources.
That's my 2 cents worth. =]
