As a drive coach, my job is to coordinate the game with the alliance. I tell the driver what he has to do, because I have a general view of the field. He can focus on the robot, without worrying if the breach will be done by the end game, or how many boulders we need to score to get the capture.

I have not done either one, but this is a fair summary of our setup. This year, the coach is also watching for signed input from the spy and possibly the operator, who may go to other places in the castle to get a good view when that's more important than monitoring the robot's vital signs. The driver should "keep his eye on the ball" and trust the coach to watch the rest of the field.
