This is true for most of the match, but when the coach needs to shout an order to their driveteam during those last five seconds it's not realistic. My team had a quarterfinal match in which I was counting down from ten for our drivers, but we had to change our strategy from shooting to trussing with five seconds left, and they shot early without lining because I wasn't able to count from five and also tell them to truss instead of shoot. We lost that match by six points.

It's not an excuse, we lost that match fair and square, I'm just saying that it really would be nice to have the last 5-10 seconds counted down by LEDs.
