20 Quotes by Geoff Salmon

Every game in this tournament we have had a different leading scorer. Anybody who has followed us all year knows we do not have a superstar.

Teams can't run many gimmicks on us because you have to guard all the kids. The first of the year, that's what I thought our strength would be was shooting the ball, and they finally got it clicking.

On the year we were about 56 percent from the line. Today we shot 80 percent in the second half and 76 percent for the game.

You're going to have to come out and get off to a good start defensively and let the game come to you. Get used to the surroundings and the depth perceptions on the baskets. That ought to take half a quarter.

I told the kids, 'If we're not making shots, do things you can control,' which are rebounding, taking care of the ball and playing defense. We hung in there until we got clicking.

The key today was our free-throw shooting. A lot of that has to do with having seniors stepping up and hitting them.

I'm nothing but proud of our kids. Nobody gave us a chance. I'm sure everyone thought it was going to be a 35-40-point game. There are no moral victories; I just feel good about how we played and the effort we gave. We've made a lot of strides.

I couldn't be more proud. That's the sixth-ranked team in the state and we beat them on a neutral court. That is huge.

You've got to put a coaching staff together that's responsible and can do things for you, because you can't do it yourself. And then you've also got to have talented kids, which we do. So we've got the combination that you need to get here. It's not me, it's not one person.
