The question also asks should it be allowed (I am some what neutral) rather than does your team does (our team will not have an adult on field coach as long as I have a say in the matter)

They don't give a response count for the number of responses in each age group. I'm wondering if the 16+ group is just sampling error. There aren't that many teams that have been doing this for 16 years.

I'm glad Frank is even addressing issues that we didn't ask about, this just keeps getting better. Each team makes their own decisions about drive coach, it's something I have been battling with myself each year. I don't think it's clear either way which way is best. Lately I have been coaching at least one off-season event with the new drive team.
