Re: Can drive coach ALSO be a human player?

It just seemed interesting to me; the idea that you have another pair of hands that COULD be used. Is it worth it? Probably not. Is it something to consider? Possibly.
Through the coaches on the outside, not really - they'd be right next to the human players, so the distance they'd have to cover would only differ by a foot or two: one step. Now that it's brought up, I do see the possibility of the coach in the center possibly having a role. They could also hold the balls for the human player using the trident, if there's more than one ball in the queue for the return. Now that you've clarified, I see how there can be an advantage. So, I would support the possible use of the coach as a suppliment, but not for the entire match. I will not support using a coach as a human player instead of coaching.
