I don't think that's quite it. The professors understand the material, but have trouble conveying those understandings because they're so internalized. It's easy to explain individual facts but hard to convey the implicit framework that ties them together.

Turning implicit knowledge into something explicit and articulable is difficult under the best of circumstances, and many professors don't even think of it as something that needs to be done. Much easier to work through problems in the book and get students to pass the test.
