Count me in the mentor does not belong on the drive team camp. I can see exceptions but not many. If you don't like it, I am not on your team & am not going to come & take your birthday away.
One issue I have seen is some (by no means all) mentor coaches expect the alliance partners defer to them because they are mentors when in reality they are just a partner drive team coach. Not to say that student coach act badly on occasion as well.
