Re: What if FIRST changed back to 2 coaches?

Ok I can agree with #2 it wouldn't be a bad idea if it were left to the teams as an option to have.

and for #1 well i still don't get why you would need a second coach to relay information when the 1st coach can just driectly communicate the order directly to the drive team. Is there an advantage to going through channels to find out information as opposed to getting it directly? If you said maybe give them a scorekeeping job for the team than i'd start to agree with you but i doubt it only b/c its hard to watch 3 active goals & be able to keep up with the flow of the match.
