Honestly, one good to great player on a girls team can carry a team far. I would say 90% of girls teams spend the first two months of the season just trying to figure out who can play and handle game time pressure. Many teams don't have enough players to form a true JV team, nor the ability to play many JV games. So you end up every year replacing graduating seniors with juniors/soph who have little to no game experience. The good coaches earn there paychecks in Nov and Dec. The REALLY good coaches earn their paychecks by being involved in their feeder middle school programs, which few coaches do.
