In almost all sports the coach coaches from the sideline. If the coach doe not they can be penalized. It just seems that FIRST does not want to budge on this. If parents were surveyed you might find different results. They are the ones who complain to me.

Hey, if that works for your team it works. What works for me and mine? Probably different.
Regarding FIRST dictating how we run our teams... no thank you. If your parents want a team run a certain way that's your team's call. If your parents want my team run a certain way they can come complain to me. Of course, I'll be sure to remind them that they probably enjoy very different toppings on their pizza than I do and then ask them why that might be.*
* Answer - Because we are all different people. We are all different teams and our students come from different backgrounds.
