You can kind of make the same arguments you used about on Kakashi about Gai as well. There is no secret that Gai focused mostly on Lee. Neji was mostly on his own, while TenTen showed no aptitude beside her Ninja weapons skills. Kakashi was showed as well training his genins.Although he focused more on Sasuke, he still put some time in the others as well with the chakra control/tree climbing thing, and teaching them how to release from genjutsu, at least Sakura. Gai gave them the choice to take the exam a year later, but honestly, beside Neji, the other 2 were complete garbage.Lee wasn't developed yet. On the other hand, Kakashi had reasons to trust his squad, after the incident in the lad of Waves. I'm not sold on Gai being the best.
