I am a drive coach with (now) 2 years of experience on a non-rookie team that made it to elimination rounds at both of our regionals this year. And I have to say... I LOVE this game! I'm a huge fan of everything strategy-related, so the strategy component of this year's game really excites me, especially compared to last year's game.
So yes, there's at least 1 drive coach who meets your criteria.

I've read lots of ChiefDelphi and I understand everyone's complaints about this year's game. However, I think it's important that we don't be too harsh on the GDC. They tried to be different and innovative! Maybe it didn't work this year... but so what? If all we do is say "You did it wrong! We hate it! We liked Ultimate Ascent!", then the GDC will stop trying new and different things, and the rest of the games we play until forever will be largely the same. And sure, Ultimate Ascent two or three years in a row might be ok... but wouldn't it get old eventually? As long as we ask for different games every year, we'll have to just accept that fact that not every game will be perfect.

There's always going to be someone who's unhappy (As evidenced by last year's polls), but if you're the one who's unhappy, lets please please please not bring down everyone else.
