Kosotogake compilation

Kosotogake is a curious thing for me.  One of my most beloved judo instructors, Mac McNeese told me not to bother with kosotogake - that it was basically a waste of training time that I should be spending working on kosotogari. 
.
I never got the chance to ask him what he meant and why he'd said that because he has since passed away.
.
There are certainly people who make the gake move work beautifully.  Anyone have a guess what he was talking about?
