Side note, the approach towards division of labour seems to vary a lot between coaching teams. A lot of secondary coaches seem to specialise in particular areas like skating skills or jumps but leave the primary coach to do everything else, e.g. Andrei Mozalev's listed coaches are Kirill Davydenko and Denis Lunin, but Lunin just works on choreo and skating skills. But as you mentioned, in some cases the secondary coach is in charge of many more aspects and the head coach plays a supervisory role (e.g. Tracy Wilson vs Brian Orser for Jason Brown). So yeah, whatever the exact arrangement is, as long as the coaches are happy with their own roles then it works I guess.I think it will work as long as the coaches doing the main grunt work with the skaters are fine playing second fiddle to the "main coach".
