John Calipari Reveals Mystery Tweak That Sparked Kentucky's Amazing Post Season Run

His team was supposed to be the best in the nation this year. They were supposed to dominate the competition during the regular season--but did nothing of the sort. That is until the 'tweak.' After the tweak his team of future NBA Draft picks played up to the expectations and made an incredible run to the national championship game.

Must have been one heck of a tweak. Want to know what it was?

Calipari announced on Twitter Sunday afternoon that he would be talking about the tweak that turned the season around during an  appearance on CBS This Morning on Monday.

To kick off the book this week, I’m going to reveal what the tweaks are tomorrow on @CBSThisMorning. Make sure you tune in.

So--what was it? You'll be surprised at how simple it was:

Tweak was showing Andrew Harrison video of Deron Williams creating shots for NBA teammates. Andrew had been looking to score too often

That's it? Yep--according to Calipari that is it. But was it really? Not at all.

Harrison did increase his average from 3.5 to 5.4 assists during the SEC and NCAA Tournaments. However, during the regular season the team hit just 31.6 percent from behind the arc. During the post season they hit 39.8 percent.

So if there was a 'tweak' that worked it doesn't sound like it was Harrison passing more. It was the team hitting a few more three-pointers (right Aaron Harrison?).
