If the coach wants to start a new team, and take with them any existing students, they may want to evaluate the cost/benefit of fighting to get any of the existing assets, versus simply walking away and starting new. Especially if legal action is being threatened.

If there are five or fewer students coming into the new team, they could be considered a rookie team and thus take advantage of those benefits, including rookie grants, and shots at awards like Rookie All Star. If there are more than five students, they would be considered a new veteran team and they would be assigned a team number of similar vintage.
