These are made so much easier if you have "played the game" that you pretty much end up back to the original argument of it being a requirement if being "a coach" to remain competitive. There of course will be outliers to this, like your aforementioned "coach that never played", but why deliberately base your point on an outlier?

Quoting myself, I said "of quality", i.e. something that is reputable and, relative to some reasonable and well-known industry standard software development principles and benchmarks, of quality. I wouldn't say it's totally arbitrary.
