We usually stick someone at coach who knows the game well and needs the on-field experience for future years. This is my first year leading drive team, as I was the Operator in 2013 and 2014. Made it to the finals and lost by a tie in F-3 at my first competition as a driver (2014 offseason event).

A lot of teams designate their coach as the drive team "leader" so that drivers can focus on the second to second challenges of driving while the coach keeps an eye on the big picture. I'm curious as to reasons other teams would have the driver as the leader.
