Nor did they have to look outside the school for that coach.

The Mount Dora position came open earlier in February when Grabowski accept the job at Red Bank High School near Chattanooga, Tennessee.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Bullock has prior experience as an assistant coach at the college level, his last stop before Mount Dora being at Hartwick College, a Division III program in New York State.
