I think that what you're going to find is that some students make good coaches and some students make bad coaches. And guess what? Some adults make good coaches and some adults make bad coaches. Usually for exactly the same reason. I think having student coaches helps the students a lot more than having adult coaches helps the students. Students don't learn too much from having adult coaches. However, having student coaches helps the coaches learn to work together, plan, be prepared. It just comes down to picking the right people -- student or adult.

Matt who's been on a team with only student coaches and a team with only adult coaches to varying degrees of success
