I expect more then an effort when one is the highest paid individual at CSA..I expect actual proper preparation and adequate games for both the men and the ladies.Not gonna blame Smith to much for this... I don't know for sure but I suspect that its his good work that allowed this tour to go ahead. He is respected by many of the higher ups in the boards. I do also think an effort is being made with regards to the womens games.
They respect him because of his playing career not because he is a great DOC.
