per FRC Game Manual
COACH – a
student or adult Mentor identified as the person wearing the designated “COACH” pin or button during a MATCH
This is normal and many teams do have student drive coaches.

In the cases where the robot is only controlled by one driver as you described, would the team have to specifically designate a coach prior to the match? Or could they just do whatever they want as long as only 3 of the 4 students manipulate the game pieces or the robot?

I'm not quite sure what you mean here but the coach has to be wearing the coach pin (the one with the silver dot) before the match. Even if he/she is a student they still may not manipulate game pieces or drive the robot. As stated above only human players or drivers can drive the robot or manipulate game pieces.
