I mean, compare Kurenai and Hinata/Kiba/Shino. A genjutsu specialist with a team who has nothing to do with genjutsu whatsoever. Or Asuma, whose students already had a clan-based combo, clan-based ninjutsu etc. Wasn't much he had to teach them specifically. And Kakashi was a mostly self-taught genius who was overseeing a barely coherent team, including a girl with Genjutsu aptitude (why wasn't she with Kurenai?)and a guy with no talent (why wasn't he with Guy?). Only Sasuke seems a natural fit for Kakashi.

Considering the teacher's actual skills, i think it made more sense if:

Hinata-Sasuke-Neji. Team kakashi. A dojutsu-wielding jonin with a wide variety of ninjutsu, teaching a team of dojutsu-wielding genin with a variety of ninjutsu.

Kiba-Shino-Tenten. Team Asuma. A skilled jonin with a long history, ideal for a team with very specific ninjutsu. (with no clear connecting thread)

Naruto-Lee-Sakura. Team Guy. A skilled jonin who made the best of his lack of talent, teaching a bunch of kids with a lack of talent.

Ino-choji-Shikamaru. Team Kurenai. She didn't teach much genjutsu, so it makes sense to tie her to a team of people with an established combo, allegiance and clan ninjutsu.
