The position of coach is an opportunity for coaching, as stated. In my opinion, if teams chose to have an adult coach, this presents further opportunity for a mentoring partnership to continue. If the drive team is comprised of adults, then that changes the partnership, placing the students on the sideline as observers. Working partnerships are much different than being sidelined and removed from the drive team, forcing the student into the role of no more than a fan of the adults.
