The actual function of managers is the subject of much debate. Using data on more than 3,000 male college basketball players, their coaches, and their skill levels, the authors find a positive and significant relation between the ability to replicate an individual coach's allocation of playing time across players and his winning percentage. The results do support the property rights paradigm: managers are the employees of workers; and more generally, sports data can be used to help understand related economic processes where quantifiable measures of inputs and outputs are more costly to obtain.
