I don’t know if it’s plural or possessive, but
WHERE did this phrase start & what does it mean?

In all seriousness the phrase has been around forever. And it’s usually “Jimmies and Joes”. Meaning it doesn’t matter what gameplan you have or what coach you have, what matters is the players you have on the field/court. They are the ones who determine who wins and loses

You have to have the best players to win consistently. (As opposed to just good coaching)

There is no way in hell you've been on this board for 13 years and don't know what that means.

I always thought the phrase was "It's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmy's and Joe's" meaning the players are more important than the scheme.

It is sort of the opposite of the old saying... "He can take his'n and beat your'n And he can take your'n and beat his'n.
