Per most recent twitter post from Cal, "I apologized to my guards today. I did something w/ them I should have done earlier that would have made them ALL better. It was eye-opening."
Wonder what it is?

Another "tweak" coming from Cal??
- Thread starter G0BigBLUE00
- Start date
Probably just something to boost Andrew. Cal is a MASTER with that kind of stuff.
Remember how the first tweak was just for Andrew to pass more? It wasn't really a big change in strategy, more of a mind game.

This is twice Cal said he should have tweaked something sooner.
Maybe Barnhart should Far Cal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweak 2? Tweaquel? The Tweakening?
Maybe have Andrew shoot more in the lane ? Penetrate the lane more ? Play Andrew and Ulis at the same time more ??
Hasn't he been telling Drew to penetrate and score more for weeks now? He at least says it at every press conference.
I've also wondered why Andrew hasn't been driving it much, much more. Maybe it's something to get Andrew some space, though I don't know what he'd need other than the 4/5 coming to the ball.
He could possibly be trying to find ways to make Andrew emulate Ulis' offensive play-style to a degree? Set up the rest of the team better. He usually only plays from the top of the perimeter, and the offense doesn't move around as much as it does when Tyler is on the floor, it's usually a stand and pass type offense that doesn't have all the hand-offs, screens, drive and kicks that it does with the second platoon. He's going to want to keep the first platoon with their own identity, but he may be finding ways to move Andrew around so the offense if forced to space and flow effectively.
Seriously, I think andrew playing with booker and ulis playing with aaron makes a lot more sense. We get good spacing with booker out there, and it would open up lanes better for andrew to get to the rim.
But I dunno......

'In a game against Tennessee Rupp used a 1-3-1 zone trap. It was the first time anyone had used a defensive formation like it. Kentucky won the game easily and afterward Rupp was asked to describe the new defense, he explained it this way, "It was a transitional and shifting man-to-man backed by a hyperbolic paraboloid between the ball and the basket." When asked to comment UT coach Ray Mears just grunted, "It was a good defense. That's all I've got to say."'
He "apologized" to his guards, so makes it seem like something that would benefit all of them in some fashion.
Cal is unbelievable.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally posted by SilentsAreGolden:
Rupp did not invent the 1-3-1 zone and if not for the constant urging by Joe B. Hall would have not used it with the Runts. Rupp did not like zone defenses but he disliked losing even more so after he tried it after urging from Joe B. he went with it because he was winning with it. He however could not admit that he was playing a zone defense so he called it that strange name.
The UT coach Mears was so impressed by the 1-3-1 that he made it his primary defense for years there after.
