    Depends. What were you trying to say when you wrote it?
    There may be a problem. Who were you talking about?

    The punctuation is correct for "the knowledge of the coaches" (more than one coach)
    The punctuation is incorrect for "the knowledge of the coach" (one coach)

    The correct possessive noun for the singular noun "coach" is: The coach's knowledge of soccer is appropriate for the age division.

    notyouraveraged is correct, but a bit late to the game since this question was asked in 2013, and the poster never came back. :(
