@Eduardokaedu I think that would be a good application of the phrase... as it would be like squeezing out what little "blood" is in the stone. Though I believe the inference in this sentence is that the team is really terrible. And so long as that's what you mean, that's OK! :)

"You know, it's as they say, you can't get blood out of a stone."
"They won't tell you anything, you can't get blood from a stone!"
To get blood out of a stone is more of an expression on its own, and would be referred to in a sentence as a concept.
It means that someone or something (represented by the stone) will not be able to give you what you need (symbolically like a stone having no blood within it ... how could you get blood from it?)
Hope this helps!!

@michj25 How about when a coach has a weak team at hand, but he still manages to do well during the tournament with his weak team, can we say that he's getting blood out of a stone? considering that he could be losing due to having a weak team, but he's actually winning.

@michj25 Yes, the team would be really terrible, in other words, the coach is like performing a miracle by getting some wins with the team in question. But the thing is, I was told by other native English speaker that this sentence doesn't make sense, so now I'm confused...
