He didn't say that 40% of teams have no desire to be excellent -- he said 40% will not achieve excellence. If excellence is defined as playing in elimination rounds, in a field of 50 teams, more than 50% won't achieve excellence. At a Championship with 100 teams in a division, 75% won't achieve excellence. Winning the championship? 6 each year do that; 1.5% of teams at the event.
This is reality and I don't think it's meant as a dig against anyone. In this case, I think Jim Zondag's metric -- a team contributing positively to the outcome of each of its matches -- is a good judge of how excellent a team is on the field. Giving teams more time should, in nearly every universe, allow them to produce something that is more effective at achieving that than if they had less time.
