1 coach rule

What does everyone think of the 1 coach rule? I've heard rumors that FIRST instated it because of a select few adult coaches who were overbearing & intimidated the students. But does this new rule solve the problem? Now instead of having 2 coaches, 1 who is out of control and 1 who no one objects to, we'll be left with the out of control coach. I don't think the rule solves anything, and has the potential to hurt teams' in-match strategies. It's always good to have a second coach back there concentrating strictly on the score and what the next move should be.

Anyone else have opinions?

I have opinions on the subject, but as always, I'll save my final opinion for a few months down the line after I've seen some competitions.
