Pat Garrity Quotations

Working together will allow us to increase our market share, while more efficiently sharing the costs of marketing and distribution. If specialty producers who are not currently members of SDSPA want to be included in this effort, now is an excellent time to join the association.

People were going through a lot of drama. And we got together and said, 'Let's just push that to the side.' We had suspensions, other stuff. Sometimes adversity brings people closer together.

People were going through a lot of drama.

I think the key to the win streak is people going through a lot of drama like we were and then just finally saying, 'Let's just push that all aside. Sometimes a little adversity brings people closer together and maybe that's the case here.

I think we had good spacing on the floor, and I was able to get some open looks. In the fourth quarter, they tightened up defensively on me. In overtime, I had some good looks.

I was happy with the look. I thought it was in, but it was short. I'll take that look any day.

We can't get satisfied. We have to keep playing our game, which means spacing and teamwork and things like that. I like how we're playing now, though.

Coaches always say during the year that it's a big game, but you kind of blow it off because it's a long season. The games in December matter just as much as the ones now. It just goes to show you that two or three games could change our position.

It's a bad loss, especially since we've been playing well. We need to be consistent and we thought we were building toward that. It's OK if you lose a hard-fought game to team that makes shots, but not when there's a lack of focus on our part. They exploited us, played harder and deserved to win.

It's tough when you give yourself that big of a hole to come back from. Anytime a team gets a big lead early, it can go two ways. It becomes even more of a blowout or it came down to the wire. It's just a matter of sticking with it.

There's three possessions where we didn't get a shot.

I didn't think it was that big of a distraction at all. He said he was frustrated and admitted to making a mistake. And I give him a lot of credit for that because there's a lot of guys in sports today who get into confrontations with either coaches or management and aren't big enough to admit when they make a mistake.
