Our coach is a student, and (as far as I am aware) hardly ever even drives our practice bots. For the record I feel like he is at least as good a leader as any mentor on our team.

The reasoning behind this rule is based on the premise that the coach now knows how a driver thinks, and is better able to be effective that way. On top of that, they have now had experience with the stress that comes with being a part of the drive team.
I will say again, do what is best for your team. This system works for us, but not necessarily for you.
