To play devil's advocate - without a coach, how would a group without a history of stepping even compete? Or is that the point? I personally don't like bringing in professionals for any collegiate competition be it Greek Sing or Soap Box Derby - but I am in a definite minority, it seems, among alumni. The competitions just seem to get bigger and bigger, and become more about winning than the team building and fun their purpose once was.
Is the thinking by those who are critical that it somehow ruins the true intent of the competition?
I agree that all the teams should be on the same page, and if it is a problem it should be addressed in the rules.
