Wow, the water looks knida hot in here - wonder if I should just jump in, they say thats the easiest way to get used to it - so here goes.
Coaches - How many has always been a function of the rules, not the roles. That's why some teams send out students, some send out adults (mentors, coaches, teachers, engineers - pick from the list).
If the rules were set up 10 years ago, that there wouldn't be any - we all wouldn't have had the opportunities to participate as coaches. I look at this as "The" challange this year - the game is a great game - very strategic - and I predict very much like a professional basketball game (if you want to see the game, tune in for the last few seconds)
Due to it being so strategic this year, the communication and planning and revising of plans at the end is going to be the critical skill needed to be successful. All FIRST has done, is make that challenge extremely difficult. Geez, ya think that might have been done on purpose?
The results of taking a coach away, creates a completely new set of dynamics that has to be dealt with - start planning now how to split up the responsibilities.
As to having 2 spots that adults could occupy on the playing field - well, I don't like it much either, but I can live with it as everyone else will also. Those that know me, know that I LOVE coaching and its been tough the last few years not being the coach on the field - but I have learned alot by observing from the sideline and sharing that with the adults that were coaching. I don't think FIRST changed this because they wanted to upset us adults - or to send a message that FIRST is suppose to be for students and this is how they will even things up. They did it as part of the problem to solve. I have faith that each team will indeed solve it in the best way that suits your team. Good luck this year - don't hurt your brains too much, and I hope everyones feeling are comforted by the time the competition starts.
