You are making a clear mistake in cause/effect relationships, CDS.

Here are two big misconceptions about sports that should be reversed:

1) The Pittsburgh Steelers win because they run the ball. (The Steelers run the ball because they win. -Football Outsiders, 2006)

2) Teams win because of great leadership from the manager. (Great leadership from the manager is because teams win. -Baseball Between the Numbers)

Seriously, just do the research. Vyse is a troll and often a sycophant, but he's right this time.

I don't agree with the first part of this statement.
and it lso depends on what your are defining as "leadership" by the manager.

But I do believe that a manager's personality and his ability to deal with crisises/conflicts that arise amongst the players can affect a team's psyche/overall dynamic and their ability to perform at peak performance on the floor.

I probably over stated how huge a influence it has but i disagree that it has little to no influence.
