* To my mind, this research bolsters Shaw's narrative. The last two full seasons for Stanford have been inordinately unlucky in terms of missed games by key contributors and there can be a reasonable expectation of reversion to the mean going forward. We can expect about one more key contributor per game than we had in the two seasons that serve as the major cases against Shaw. 

Just thinking out loud, but I also wonder if there are more injuries among players who no longer believe in a coach or a system. I'd be interested in knowing if there's a correlation between plunging W/L records and number of injuries.
