What about the land shark?

Changing coaches now would be dumber than getting rid of Heath was and that was pretty dumb. 

Just about every broadcast, the announcers make the point that the best players on the team aren't able to play this year. Harlan knows basketball.  He sees it everday and understands what/who he has coming back and coming in. 

If Judy or whoever was calling the shots when they got rid of Heath would have had a little foresight and patience, we probably would be having our best year ever this year and a solid foundation for sustained success would have been in place. At least we would not have been perennial bottom feeders. 

There appears to be young talent on roster or coming. I haven't seen many games where we have been outcoached that led to a loss. When we are losing by 15 to 20 points a night that is a talent/experience issue. 

Before making an assessment let's see what a team made of a full roster of guys that he brings in can do.

No room for this kind of rational posting regarding USF MBB. Be gone, sir.

Thanks for bringing balance back to the force, Sell. Now there's a place for haters & supporters to deposit their emotions through the remainder of the season. Well done, sir.

Well, obviously he's always a concern; but pay attention.  The scenario was in a lake.

Actually, the Bull Shark has been known to swim up "Estuaries" and bite victims as it can survive in either fresh or salt water. The problem with this is that my OP specifically stated lakes. Lakes are 98% of the time fresh water and are not linked to the open ocean except by rivers and streams too narrow and shallow for Bull Sharks to navigate. Now I know you may report the incident where a boy was attacked in Lake Pontchartrain but Lake Pontchartrain isn't strictly a lake — it's an estuary, a coastal body of brackish water connected by rivers or streams to the open ocean. The lake is connected to the Rigolets strait and Chef Menteur Pass to Lake Borgne, which opens into the Gulf of Mexico, (Lakes aren't usually directly connected to the open ocean). Thus by definition it doesn't qualify for my situation in the OP. Nice try though.

Excuse me? He picked at my post attempting to correct it with an error. I'm sorry I'll go sit with the UCF crowd since we're dumbing down the board.
