Re: Drive Team Chemistry

The drive coach should be making big picture decisions like overall strategy or where to place a stack and pointing stuff out that the driver doesn't see and talking to other teams to tell them how to get the ball to you. If you want things to work without too much argueing they shouldn't literally be dictating movements and stuff. Giving your driver some independence will work wonders for you. However if they're defiant then kick them out of there.

I've had three operators over the years and the way you make it work is to make sure that your operator takes orders from the driver and no one else. The driver tells them when to shoot, when to deploy the pickup, when to move the stacker and so on. Not the coach.
