Okay...I think I'll put in my two cents on this one. I think Matt is correct when he says it depends on the person. There are good coaches and bad coaches, both student and adult. I don't think it is really right to totally blame the adults for being bad coaches, just because, not all of them were. And I'm sure not all the students were the best coaches either. Now, I'll admit, it can get annoying when an adult has a certain strategy in their head, because it seems like that overrules the students ideas. But not all adults do that, and the ones that do, I think can be put into the "bad coach" area, not "bad adult." I am a college student, so perhaps I can see both sides of the argument. But, ultimately, it's the team's decision who they make a coach, and if they believe they have a good coach, well, maybe they do. Maybe that's what is best. And if they have a bad coach, well, that happens too. But, I think that happens with students and adults, and that we shouldn't ban the adults because some of them are bad coaches. I think students are just as guilty, 'cause I'm sure there are some bad student coaches too.
