Using these facts: 9 players leave the 13-1s, 2 to teams that finished higher in 14-1s, 7 go to teams that finished lower. 9 join from lower ranked teams. Of the 6 returning players, only 3 have starting spots on the new 14-1 team. 4 of the 9 new players come in and take starting spots. Overall performance goes up.

What's more likely:
That the 9 players, and especially the 4 starters that joined from lower ranked teams are suddenly developed into top players on a top team with just a few months of coaching.
Or
That most of those 9 players, and definitely the 4 starters, were already better than the players on the 13-2s team and at least as good (and some likely better) than returning 13-1s players in the same positions.

Based on the data and all the one off examples raised so far, its much more likely that the second scenario is what is happening.[/quote]
I have a different view of the data you presented.

9 players from Paramount 13-1 went to:
1	MDJRS #16
1	Metro Travel #46
1	Blue Ridge	#140
2	VAJRS #530
1	Paramount 13-2	#596
1	VAE #2194
1	American 15-1	
1	Overseas

They were replaced by these 9 players from:
2	American #327
3	VAJRS #530
1	DYS	#773
1	Metro SPW #2377
1	MOJO #2562
1	Unknown

If you look at these rankings for a while, you’ll see that this team (#211) lost players to teams ranked higher than them, took players from teams ranked lower than them, and performed better the next year (#96). This is a great achievement.

You’re saying they lost non-stars to teams ranked higher than them and took stars from teams ranked lower than them, which led to their improvement.

Then I ask you: why did the higher-ranked teams take non-stars from this team instead of taking stars from the lower-ranked teams?

Isn't what they did "doing more with less"?[/quote]
