I really don't want to be because I've always fought for student coaches on my teams but right now I feel like that stand is stopping my team from excelling and I would never want to do that either.
This is a sentiment that I can definitely relate to as I see no problem with young teams having mentors as coaches to mitigate the shock students experience in their early competitions. I merely feel that student members of the established teams could really benefit from the experience of coaching.
