In my opinion it would be the coaches responsibility to have this situational awareness and it would be more important for the driver to have a cool head and the ability to execute maneuvers. I think the coach should be the one to pay attention to the field and give the driver instructions. If you have your driver look for scoring opportunities while also trying to do something else with the robot you will get mediocre results on both fronts.
Find a coach that knows the game, your strategy, and your robot's capabilities. And as far as the driver goes, practice practice practice. There is nothing that can make up for drive time. A driver with a good robot and a lot of practice can easily keep pace with a better robot and a driver with little practice.
