Bruce Weber on Demetri McCamey
May 15, 2011 1:59 PM
"One question I've gotten is, 'Why do I want them to walk the ball up and slow it down at the end of a game?' I've just chuckled at that one.
"Everyone always says they can hear me on the sideline. I ask them, 'Have you ever heard me tell Demetri (McCamey) to walk the ball up, make 17 passes and take a bad shot?' No. But it's one reason we didn't win some close games and it's the difference in not having a special team.
"We didn't have a lot of ball-handlers and guys who could create. It's something we hope we have addressed with the new guys coming in."
