Almost exactly what I was going to say. You can get some great advice from others about coaching, but the only opinions that really matter are your drivers'. Don't try to force things on the drive team because you read something on CD, do what works best for your drive team.
Also, the first few matches will probably not go as well as you had hoped. This is normal. Identify a few things after each match that you were not happy with, and make an effort to improve them. The only way to get better is to recognize your weakness. Experience really is everything in coaching.
