I'd like to see having two coaches next year, but if so, I would want to make one be a high school student. The second coach allows more people (and more students) to participate. You can also give parents, engineers, and sponsors to be a part of the floor team without sacrificing a vital spot on your drive team.

I would agree that it is easier to define 4 roles than 5, but I do know there are cases where I would have liked to have a 5th person, or wanted to have an adult to assist (we have an all-student drive team). In particular, our "Strategy Guy" was an adult, but we wanted to keep the 4-student team, so he couldn't go on the field and help with strategy. He had to stand off to the side and be there if we needed to ask a question before a match. Having him there in the box with us would have been very helpful in a few spots.

So, I would say that the second coach is a good idea, but only if there is a mandatory student coach for the first position.
