Re: Adult coach?

When you are on the field, you should be doing everything (legal) you can to win. If that means a student coach is a better choice, so be it. But, also, if that means an adult coach is a better choice, so be it.

From what I've seen, adult coaches usually are better (not always); Guys like Copioli, Baker, Travis Covingtion, etc... have all been around a long time; they know what works, they know what they're doing and they get it done.
