Have it coaches-only, at least at first--the 3 coaches on the alliance all get a headset and talk to each other, with the option of keeping drivers' instruction "off-mike". But also give the refs (head ref or appropriate substitute) a mike-only interface, so that they can call a foul in straight to the coaches as the foul is dished out. Something like "Hey, Red, back off or get a pinning foul in 3... 2... 1... Tech foul!"
I am a driver so i know the struggles of giving or receiving information from the couches so this will not only help for that but it will help because at the end of every match we will know what fouls or whatnot were put upon us so there's no guessing who won
