This is why I think CD users should stay away from making statements or assumptions about other teams without specific involvement or understanding of the team.
624 has always had a student coach, and that has worked well for us as the drive team can fully understand each other and have a common basis on which to build upon; that is they see each other every day at school and already have an existing and good relationship. We don't have to start from scratch. It also emphasizes more student-driven leadership.
However, there is nothing wrong with an adult coach, for the reasons others have already mentioned. Both sides can be argued for and rightly defended. It boils down to team philosophy and structure.
