Re: [ECDU]: ideas on your coach

I'm our team's coach in the offseason. During the season our drive team's coach was ryan he was a senior and i was his right hand man doing the scouting. Our advisors would tell us some of their ideas and what they thought we should do out on the floor. It usually came down to listening to what they said then Ryan and I would go away from the team so we didn't have everybody on our team asking us what we're going to do while we we're still decideing what to do. Ultimately it was ryan's deceision on what the drive team did. Both of us as the coach we sort of were the leaders both on the floor and in the pit.. on the floor we stayed relaxed up until autonmous mode ended, we were both calm but we made the calls on what to do without trying to yell too much. We're just lucky to have a team that when he was the coach the drive team listened to him and when i was the coach the listened to me. The one thing that our team decided was that we needed a coach that had authority to tell people what to do, and really question the coach's decisions, but we needed a coach who didn't abuse that and act like they were god. It worked out really well for us this past season.

It also helped that ryan and i were both very similar in our ideas and our thinking so the team was able to handel haveing the coaches change between practice and regionals, then a new coach (me) come in during the offseason, so communication was really good with us.
