Lightning is too high of a potential to give a hoot about inductors. We loop the coax at both ends of the feed to eliminate the outside of the shielding from the antenna system. The simplest way to add resistance, or impedance to the flow of RF on the outside of a coax is to create an inductor, which acts as a low-pass filter. We don't want RF to flow down the outside skin of the coax shield, thus we need to add resistance to that path.

As it happens, the shielding on a coaxial feed line acts as two RF paths: the inside skin and outside skin. That means that energy flows only in a shallow layer of the conductor. Alternating current, otherwise known here as radio frequency (RF), has a skin effect. The 'couple of loops of coax' at the feed point of an antenna at VHF or above is to choke any RF that would otherwise run down the outside of the feed line. I only clicked on this hit in my search, because I used to have a Ringo Ranger II above my parents' house it worked great! This bewilderment and such gullibility to the use of turns of coax at both the antenna and building entrance are either hilarious or shameful.
