Sharks scored 36 points in 4th quarter. Equals highest score in any quarter in the Sharks 14 years history. These guys are history makers.
Rob Paternostro (Leicesters coach) should be severely disciplined for his continuos use of foul languane used during the game. We work very hard to attract young people and families and all this undone by this very poor behaviour.
Thanks for the comment Phil. What’s your involvement with the Sharks?
Have you tried bringing up Paternostro’s language with the BBL? Or even himself?
I’m a volunteer to each of the Sharks games. Also volunteer for English Basketball League, and many Sports events in Sheffield, including the British Universties Championships (including the Basketball).
