I think below the D1 college level and at high school the goal should be to create a good Program that is a good experience for the players.

That includes a lot of stuff but winning is part of it. I'm not discounting Team chemistry, culture and so on, those are real things but reality is losing a lot sucks and hurts culture and team chemistry. If you have ever played in a team that wins less than 30% of their games or even less you know how that wears on everything.

Winning is not everything but it can cover up a lot of other stuff. Not saying a good team can't be dysfunctional and there are some losing teams with great culture but it is much harder to do.
