Game conditions like how much time remains and how quickly teams are scoring should be big factors in such analysis, but they weren't taken into account in those "cheat sheets," so coaches often made mistakes because they didn't take into account the actual conditions of the game. Coaches relying on their "analytics" are making very similar mistakes just like Staley did.

The models absolutely take into account game situations.
