Hmmm, a team has:
1. an owner/group of owners
2. general manager/head coach
3. assistant coaches specializing in different parts of the game
4. at least one star player, hopefully more depending on what kind of game you are playing and proportionate to the number of players
5. a well rounded starting lineup
6. as deep a bench as you can afford
How each of these parts works with the others and as part of a whole determines the quality of your team.
How much determination and drive to win your team has must start with #1 and work its' way to the end of the list in order to become championship caliber.
Some teams don't seem to be teams tho -- golf for instance. However, Tiger Woods with a suck ass caddie won't be as effective as Tiger with a great caddy who understands Tiger's style and limitations and helps him reach past to become a longer hitter, better putter, etc.
Of course many bench players, especially good ones, don't stay since they see opportunities to be stars on other teams...
