I can't for the life of me figure why someone would favor a random draw over seeding the four regional champions. I don't want to speak for Coach Alley but in the Kriegbaum case he couldn't have been a 1-4 seed as I understand it. That puts importance on winnng your regional, but still allows for redemption at state. In this day and age with the larger tournaments and cross state travel as well as the internet to track results, there is no reason the four regional winners can't be seeded pretty easily.
