If we were to have a student coach, i would say the same. When drive teams normally have their alliance meeting, the team with the Adult Coach is always the one being listened too. I have rarely seen a student coach able to delegate duties over an adult.

Do you have an adult coach or a student coach? Adult
Why? He is darn good at it.
Do you feel it increases your ranking, winning, and success in matches? Increases Greatly.
Do you feel it enhances your team as a whole? Drive team at least.
Do you feel it enhances the accuracy, precision, and speed in driving and operation? Allows myself to have an extra set of eyes to be able to know how the humna player is doing, as well as the score.
What downsides are there? None.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
