Can a team control the price of their own coin for growth??

I know one coin development team who ended up with an unusually high percentage of the coins due to a low ICO turnout so decided to burn them - and this is ok because they were transparent about it.  One of the great things about blockchain tech is increasing transparency!  So clearly they can and should, nothing wrong with doing things in the interest of the coin, but only openly and with full explanation.
