Looks like someone hasn't read the "Everything but the Rain" sub-arc.
I mean, it's not a bad theory, but it's already been Jossed. If you want to find out for yourself, don't look in the spoiler box.
Some of Isshin's men die in the world of the living, and he decides to investigate personally. He encounters one of Aizen's Shinigami hollowfication experiments, code-named "White". The most notable things about White are that, a) its hole is filled in, and b) its mask is shaped exactly the same as berserk!Ichigo's. He also meets Masaki, a pure-blood Quincy with notably powerful defensive abilities. Masaki gets White to attack her, letting her defense tank the attack, so that she can shoot and kill it point-blank. However, her defense wasn't quite good enough, and she got scratched.
The next day, Isshin returns to thank Masaki again for her help. Unfortunately, Masaki had, by that point, fallen deathly ill (part of which involved the formation of a Hollow's hole). He takes her to the only person around who can help her -- Urahara. Kisuke explains that Hollow energy is extremely poisonous to Quincy, causing an imbalance in the soul, followed by that soul's destruction, a phenomenon known as Soul Suicide. The only way to save Masaki is for a Shinigami (i.e. Isshin) to bind himself to a special gigai which seals his powers and makes him effectively a normal human. In this way, Isshin's human and Shinigami aspects balance out Masaki's Hollow and Quincy.
Now, you may be thinking, if Masaki is some really powerful Quincy, how did a Hollow like Grand Fisher kill her? That exact day, all mixed-blood Quincy (save Uryuu) died, their souls absorbed by the progenitor of the Quincy. At the same time, Masaki lost all her power, and was unable to protect herself.
Another note: Ichigo inherited the abilities of his parents, as well as the seal on his Hollow aspect. As such, Isshin didn't regain his powers until Ichigo's Hollow aspect became too powerful to contain.
