Re: On field Coach - Student or Adult

This past weekend at championships I had the opportunity to stand on the field level and be right near the drive teams. Personally our team uses a student coach. As I watched divisional elimination matches I noticed some terrible things. For one of the matches there were 5 seconds left and a human player wasn't paying attention and then forgot to put the ball in play. All of the sudden the adult coach from there alliance (who was on a different team but on the same alliance) ran over and started to yell at the human player and included multiple inappropriate words directed to the student. The student already felt bad enough about it and the adult coach yelling at him didn't help at all. Their alliance won that match so he cooled down. I just think that the drive team should be only students so they can discuss things together on a peer to peer level.
