I spent all three of my years as a student on the drive team and one year as a mentor coach my first year mentoring after graduation. As a rookie I was human player, and for the next two years I was a driver, and the year after graduation, I was coach. I've played all the positions throughout four seasons and I can tell you rarely did I ever hear what the announcer was saying, except for when the remaining time was announced. This is a skill that can be difficult to acquire as a coach, because you have to filter out everything to communicate with all the alliance members, but also keep your ears peeled for when the announcer says X:XX time left in the match. For those who have a hard time doing that as a coach, I just recommend watching the digital countdown clock on the opposing alliance station.
