I don't mean to turn this into a discussion about how to coach, but I don't think the coach should be giving instructions that specific. Rather the coach should be saying things like "cap the far right", or "defense on 173, don't let them cap middle row".

To me it all comes down to taking the load off of the driver's head. They put %100 of their mental capacity into driving to the best of their ability rather than remembering some of the GDC's insane idiosyncrasies.
We pick our coach based on how we think they can do all of the following things at once:
Watch 6 bots
Watch the clock
Remember every rule
Ability to manage a team
You may say this is not possible but then I suggest onto you to take a look back on your team. I am a believer that every team has someone who can do this, it just takes work.
