What a hot topic and it is not even the question of the week!! Yes, there may be some problems with some adults as coaches..In little league and soccer, many leagues require adults to be "licensed". Once you become a real coach you realize that "yelling" does not work. Our team has a coach selected by the company and one by the school. The leaders of both decide how to select their coach. Remember that the company might have a $40,000 budget invested in your team and needs to have some control over the play on the field.
Maybe you do not have perfect coaches on your team, but do not make decisions for others. There are some tremendous adults out there who really inspire others..and can teach students how to coach. If your team can not be inspired by people like ANDY, then FIRST is not for you. I have a tremendous college student helping us out. No one on my team would object to having Smitty as a coach. Maybe some coaching lessons need to be given for anyone who wishes to coach.
