[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach here; this is a tough one, but here is my take.

Individuals and teams can certainly develop yet not see an improved record. The opposite is also true.

The game results are more determined by who you play against, while some of that is under the control of the club not all leagues are created equal. I've seen bad teams placed in lower leagues beat up on teams, and good teams placed too high lose most their games to even better teams.

Another thing to think about is - there are a lot of decent coaches out there, despite what it may seem reading these forums sometimes. If your team starts out at the bottom, say due to it's talent pool, and still winds up at or near the bottom at the end of the year. That doesn't mean they didn't develop - the other teams are ALSO developing and that is an aspect people tend to forget about.

So will teams that develop win out over teams who don't? - all things being equal, yes, however there are lots of factors, such as how big was the gap in the first place? How much of a timeline are we talking about?

The tough aspect for a lot of parents is they don't even know what development looks like because they don't understand the sport. So if all you have to go by is win/losses well....

To the OP to re-utilize your school analogy, it's like trying to determine how good your child's calculus teacher is when you barely know how to add and subtract. If you don't know enough about the subject, you'll need neutral and knowledgeable third party analysis/opinion to help.[/quote]
