Your point is excellent. Take a look at the SCYSA sight's summary of 2010 ODP, and you'll see comments about Ws and Ls. The more relevant outcome is player development. Did we identify the right kids, treat them correctly, and DEVELOP them as players and people?
All too often, the answer is no. Or worse. The highly politicized ODP experience often discourages kids or turns them off. Trust me, "elite-level" kids know who can and CAN'T play. They're accustomed to a certain level of coaching. When an ODP coach doesn't show up regularly or on time, selects the wrong kids, plays them in the wrong positions, verbally berates them, and then holds them to a presumed higher standard ...
THAT'S a cluster.
And yet, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that same coach is back next year.
Accountability?
