Apart from two or three matches our rookie year, we've always had a student coach. If we found ourselves without a single student capable of the role, we would have had an adult there, but it's a bit of team culture that if there is a student who has shown him/herself capable of the job, the job goes to a student. Whenever feasible, the adults are mentors, advisors, and consultants rather than directors of team activities. It may not be best decision in terms of being competitive as a team, but this policy has helped us grow an awesome crop of upperclassmen and alumni. And that's what it's all about: inspiring and developing the next generation of (tech) leaders.
