→‎NBA example: Good points, but the 13-player limit has sound justification in economies of scale.
Line 10: Line 10:     
Hi, just wanted to make a quick correction to your example about NBA teams and the number of employees they have.  First of all, the example seems to conflate players who play basketball with other staff employees (see [http://www.nba.com/bulls/chicago-bulls-staff-directory.html] for an example of the various sorts of management positions that an NBA franchise has), of which there very well may be thousands.  Further, the size of NBA rosters is limited by the NBA's collective bargaining agreement (to 13 players, [http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2013/01/24/all-star-rosters-game-clock-overdue-for-a-dose-of-modern-inflation/ source]), and not by economies of scale.  [[User:GregG|GregG]] 19:32, 1 April 2013 (EDT)

:Good points, but the 13-player limit has sound justification in economies of scale.  Players need to have playing time to remain sharp, and it is impossible to give playing time to more than 13 players in a 5-player game.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:01, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
