I eliminated the highest and lowest year for each coach to find a truncated mean. This is a very common statistical approach to find central tendency in a set of data. This wasn't cherry picking.
Using a simple average, it is still a 41 spot difference, not 24. Data really loses it integrity when it is not correct.
