Go to Post Incidentally, this is a good example of why lawyering the FIRST rules is good practice for the real world. By critically analyzing FIRST's errors, you practice for the day when you need to critically analyze legislators' errors (and deliberate trickery). - Tristan Lall [more]

Re: What if FIRST changed back to 2 coaches?

I'd look at it at from a slightly different perspective.
2: Rather than requiring a second coach, it should only be an option; teams that don't think they'd benefit from it wouldn't use it.
1: While a second coach might not allow new duties to be made, there are several other possibilities. Already existing tasks can be distributed between the two. For example, one coach makes strategic decisions and the other communicates them to the drivers. (Some teams do instruct their drivers, so please no one assume that it is not possible to just because your team does not.) In some cases, the driver-coach is an adult because they can more effectively communicate to the drivers, while a student could quite often be the better choice for coaching strategy.
The largest benefit provided is that it would encourage student participation on the field if the second coach is mandated student-only.
