Tom Demko Ball Quotations

Jeter wants the ball at the end of the game. Great players want the ball at the end of the game, and they make plays.

We'll take that one. It was by far the best game that we had this year, outside of Aliquippa. We dictated the game from the start. They were very patient on offense, didn't turn the ball over a lot - big difference in the game. It felt like a good team win.

We wanted to take care of the ball, be patient in the offensive set. We knew they were going to come at us and trap Amir. Amir did a great job getting the ball to the open guy. We made shots. We were attacking their pressure.

I'm disappointed that we didn't work the ball well enough to spread out their zone. We got no inside points because they got every rebound. We usually shoot well against the zone, but we didn't do it. There were no transition points.

We just turned the ball over way too much. We got guys on this team that can dribble the ball up the floor, but we were thinking too much. We weren't attacking their press. They come at you from all angles.

(Amir) is a special kid because he's our top scorer and our point guard. We want him to score, but first we want him to get players the ball. We'd rather get somebody to touch the ball first, especially Bradford.
