Is there a tweak coming?
- Thread starter H00SIER-Cat
- Start date
Don’t fix what ain’t broken. Sure, there’s still stuff to work on. But theres no need to overhaul anything at the moment.
I would love to see a tweak in how they defend the inbounds play underneath the basket. Other than that, I'm pretty content at the moment.
At this point I’d rather twerk than tweak.
A subtle tweak would be back-door cuts off the weave … teaser cuts !!!
Don't think one is needed this time. That's the advantage of having a mature team instead of having all true freshmen. Even the freshmen we have are playing better than those in recent years because they have mature and developed players next to them on the court. This transfer portal maybe the tweak of all tweaks for Cal.
The only concern for this team is that Wheeler is critical to this team and he can be out of control at times.

Zero threes from Brooks and Wheeler would be tweak enough for me.
we seen it yesterday
he ran two plays for Grady

When you have a veteran team, you don't need gimmick crap like tweaks, veterans can adjust on the fly.
Cal has a confidence in this team that he hasn't had since the 14/15 team and I hope he likes it enough to want to have a veteran team every year (next year won't be though).
If you had Cal + a veteran squad every year, he would own college basketball.
Had he been doing this all along, he would have 3 or 4 titles at this point, I feel very confident about that.

Actually Cal fessed up to running new plays to get Grady his shot. That's a good tweak.
I was told on here that modern college basketball coaches don't run plays. So it's not possible that plays were run to get Grady open shots. Nope.
Hopefully the tweak was what we saw at high point. You know that guy we barely use, rarely shoots, and is one of the most offensively efficient scorers in country?
Let's get him a bunch of shots.
Been pulling my nonexistent hair out because we haven't been getting him shots.

Only thing I can think of is to figure out how to get to the line more often. I’ve been beating this drum all year. It’s about the only weakness I see.
Best tweak(s) would be Sharpe and/or someone playing as an actual power forward from the four.
I don’t mind Wheeler shooting that in a blowout or if it’s the only shot available. But Brooks should never take that shot.
We’re just aren’t going to with the way we’re playing right now. And don’t really need to.
If we continue to shoot this well and making midrange shots FTs will be a luxury not a necessity like previous Cal teams.
Cal wanting to stay at UK.
I agree there, fix that and after a made basket don’t lose the guy at the half court line and set up a wide open layup, Keion does that a couple times a game.
Definitely like to get to the line like we did the other night, we were like 22-27 or something. I’d take that every night around 25 FT’s would be ideal.
It’s very highly doubtful that we continue to shoot at this clip. I mean, Grady hit 7 3s yesterday. He’s not gonna hit 6-8 a game. It’s just not gonna happen.
That ND game comes to mind. Those type of games we are absolutely going to have to manufacture points from the FT line. Come tourney time, the game slows down more and becomes more about possession by possession. That’s why good guard play is so important.
We need Mintz to start shooting, that way we have 3 high level shooter out there every game. We all know Wheeler won’t be a shooter but it would be nice if he could hit an open on from time to time. I’ve lost hope that Allen will hit anything anytime soon.
My tweak would be nobody but Grady or Washington shoots more than ONE 3 pt shot a game. Those two are shooting it very well, but Allen is below 20% and he keeps trying to shoot himself out of the "slump". Wheeler does too many things well to be shooting 3s. We lost our other shooter in CJ, but we may get Sharpe at some point. Otherwise, leave those shots to the 2 people we know can make them.
