In some cases, absolutely.
I've worked with and known students who definitely never would have pursued science and engineering careers, let alone graduated high school if it wasn't for the guiding influence of their field coaches.

Each team needs to do what's best for their situation. It's is a tad bit frustrating that we keep having these threads, where certain people/teams feel the need to tell other teams what they're supposedly depriving their students of. If you don't want to have a certain type of coach for your team, that's fine. But there's really no need to get on a high horse and lambaste others in a completely condescending fashion.
