WAKE FOREST BASKETBALL WFU vs. Nike Elite November 2, 2001
Wake Forest Head Coach Skip Prosser
On the Game "Overall it was a pleasing evening. You hope to win games like this. Everybody plays, no injuries. We treid to play the way wewanted to play. We forced turnovers off the press. It wasn't like we were standing around out there."
On the Press "The players have to trust that if you play that way, it's fun. Right now, they're trying it on faith. We may not be able to press the way we want to press, but that's not from a lack of effort. They're trying - it's very different. At Xavier we recruited players according to the press. Here, our situation was different."
"The downside of the first half was we had way too many fouls. They were unintelligent fouls. They were almost always mistakes. We allowed way too much dribble penetration. It was glaring."
Antwan Scott
"We all did a good job. We had a real good night. In the press you have to be on your toes, it's tough, you have to pay attention all the time. You have to be in good shape and be able to run the floor well. I feel good turning around and shooting the ball now."
Josh Howard
"We had a real good night tonight. We showed spurts of doing the run-and-gun real well. The hardest part of the press is to pick up your man. You have to know when to take your shot and I still need to work on my shots. Everyone went to the glass, went hard and took good shots tonight."
