Training and maximizing the given set of players is definitely a, if not the, primary job of a manager. The skipper does have other responsibilities though, and every move made or not made during a game can be interpreted as a conscious decision by a manager. This is just one way of measuring the impact of some of the other responsibilities of a manager. Remember, too, that plenty of other managers had to deal with injuries to terrific players that affected, limited, or ended their play at some point during the season. No right or wrong answers here – just another way of looking at things.
