The club coach said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports to the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."
The club coach thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand the CSA/OSA hierarchy. I want to know why they do what they do."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?""

Nobody has said that the program doesn't need serious fixing, in fact that's what we've been saying. What was disputed was the idea that bringing in a mercenary coach would be a serious difference maker, and of course the laughable idea that a lack of diving is the problem.
