Calculation:
The equation of regression line shows strong relationship because
Plugging
The skill of the coaching is only a partial factor for this situation. Assuming that the rate of "bad coaches with long careers" was consistent throughout the years, the effect of the bad coaching would be covered by the data. According to the regression line, it represents number of wins of an average coach in a given length of time.
Assume if a coaching is done for one season, the chances of losing 100% game in a session are very rare. In that respect, winning 155 games over 16 years shows that a team won nine games in a year. Mostly teams play about 16 games per season. According to the bell-curve prediction, the average team would be the ones that won eight games and lost eight games per season. So, the predicted value is reliable.
