Re: Adult coach?

First off, Tom: I am not saying that having a student yelling is any better. Re-read the last line of my previous post.

Next, Cory: The reason the coaches yelling at a football game is seen as acceptable is because they are yelling a long distance. In FIRST, the coach is standing right next to you. There is no need to yell. If you think it is still 'no big deal' to have people down there yelling, have a friend or someone yell at you when you are taking a test(or doing something else that requires though) and see if it is 'no big deal'.

I am not going to say that all teams should have a student as a coach. I am just saying that all teams should consider what effect their particular coach is going to have on the game. And I would like to suggest that perhaps winning is not where you should focus. You should put the focus on the fun.
