Why can't adults play high school sports?

The drivers/human players are equivalent to athletes and the coach is there to give them guidance. Would you say that since a high school football team is for high school students, they shouldn't have an adult be making plays for them?

11 uses student coaches because that is our preference, but we recognize that as long as a team's goal is roughly in the neighborhood of inspiring students/teaching engineering, it's up to them to decide how they want to achieve those goals.
