I don't know how many are out there, but a few users do this on purpose. We had a guy in the Empire 8 of Knight D3 coaching Rochester Tech for several years who just retired. He was always 1-26 or 0-27, and for the first few seasons I assumed he had bought a five-pack or a ten-pack and then lost interest.
But as the streak mounted I looked more closely, and it was clear he was going for broke, so to speak: He was actually moving players around occasionally, doing stuff like putting a power forward at point guard, and a couple of times he scheduled another human coach who was clearly doing the same thing. One of their classic battles went two OT's and Roch Tech pulled out the big loss, putting them on the road to accomplishing the D3-worst RPI that season. They "succeeded" in doing so in three of six seasons.
There seemed to be an unwritten code to it. Neither of those guys ever had more than two walk-ons at once that I can remember.
