Keep in mind this is coming from someone who has only coached as a student.
I am sorry if I am offending anyone. I have never been on driveteam, and the closest I have gotten is two years of pit crew during eliminations. My opinions are going based off of my team's philosophy as well as what I have heard from the drive team for the past few years.

I never meant to insinuate that every team should change to a student coach, I was just trying to point out a few benefits. Granted, some of them may be a stretch. (I could link you to the studies that show that video games make people see more)

I would also like to point out, that most students are currently in class right now, so this is almost a one sided argument.

As for the banners, no, we do not have the banners to prove anything. Our team has been getting consistently better(except last year Midwest). This year is probably going to be our best year yet based on our progress so far.
