Why did this coach bring these kids so deep into these very dangerous caves?

He didn't... he went looking for them, found their bikes, found them and as the flood came took them further in the dry areas since most couldn't swim.

The youth soccer coach who led his team into a network of underground caves in Thailand may face charges for putting the boys in danger, according to a report.
Officials are looking into whether to charge the 25-year-old coach of the Wild Boars, identified in local outlets as Ekapol Chanthawong, with negligence for bringing 12 boys — ranging in age from 11 to 16 — on an excursion into the Tham Luang cave after their practice June 23.
“We have to study the matter carefully first,” Col. Komsan Saard-an, chief of the Mae Sai Police Station, told the Khaosod English paper on Tuesday, when asked if charges were forthcoming.
Some residents said the coach should have been more prudent.

Why did this coach (who was in the cave with the boys)bring these kids so deep into these very dangerous caves? He didn't... he went looking for them, found their bikes, found them and as the flood came took them further in the dry areas since most couldn't swim.

The coach the Fist sentence is referring to is OBVIOUSLY the assistant coach, who was the coach who brought the kids into the cave - no hero - could have killed them all.
