I can understand that second coach stance, somehow. Right now he either is unneeded as there's already a coach, or he needs to take the place by force. It's quite similar to the ace position in the team.

Back to Sawamura: I wanted to precise that it's a shame they had to sabotage so soon in the first inning. Of course it happens in a match that pressure catches you back even when you're at the top of your game, but I was really hoping that would happen in the second or third after he shows how great he can be.
