Smith also has had talented teams who don't need to take huge gambles to win. As i said before, when the team is winning and consistently competitive in games, I can only remember less than a handful of times Haley took these kinds of enormous risks. We saw it a bunch in 2009. And I don't think it's a coincidence we started to see it again when Tyler palko started playing.
I think he knew that in many cases, the only way to win games was to gamble. Because he simply didn't have the talent to win the traditional way.
