I think this is the best way to ultimately train the student coach. I think the student coach learning from and being inspired by the mentor coach and then, getting on the field coaching experience from the second regional, is the best recipe for a competent, professional, engineer.
I think that if y'all think that's a good idea, it doesn't matter what we think!
