Less coaches = less returning engineers

When TRW Automotive Electronics started a FIRST team, we had a number of engineers who volunteered their time. However, the time commitment is significant, and only a small core of engineers has returned year after year, until this core is basically all that remains. If the one coach rule had been in effect from the beginning, this core would probably be 2 engineers smaller or so. I imagine it would be a short time before we no longer had enough engineering support for a team. Is the 1 coach rule really helping the students? Perhaps in the short term by reducing the number of strategists, but I sincerely doubt that this will be positive in the long term. Was this the main goal of reducing the number of participants on the field? Probably. Will the trade-offs be worth it in the end? I suspect not.
