This is basic HR protocol and is correct. In that position, you absolutely cannot expose the entity you work for.

I'm sorry sir, you are incorrect on this one. I do this for a living. I'll keep the explanation as short as possible, but as long as your replies as the former employer are fact-based and not purposefully inflammatory, you can relay certain info about a previous employee to a prospective employer. Especially if the prospect in question has signed a release. Chapter 103 of the Texas Labor Code protects from defamation liability an employer who releases information about a current or former employee to a prospective new employer, unless "the information disclosed was known by that employer to be false at the time the disclosure was made or that the disclosure was made with malice or in reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the information disclosed." Follow my guidelines, and it will serve you well: Release only factual information Supply Only What Is Requested Tell the Truth Avoid Inflammatory Terms Use a Written Release Form

Dcorian Warren Eric Pitre Blake Walker The team is better than the record shows... Especially on defense. Offense has struggled for sure for a few years.

Preparation for the next level? You mean the 10% of all of Texas high school basketball players that actually play next level? A shot clock is needed for those players? What about the 90% that will not play next level? What about teams across the state that don't have a single college prospect on their roster or haven't had any in many years? I know for a fact that those teams are in the vast majority but we need to implement a rule to benefit the "elite" teams? I totally understand the complaint about teams that simply hold the ball with no intention of running an offense. Teams that hold it to try and keep the score down and not get blown out. Particularly when that team is behind. (aka Lumberton/Silsbee game). I don't like that as well. It's not basketball. But I have watched plenty of basketball in my 62 years and I can honestly state that those instances are anomalies. You might find 6-10 games per season out of the 1000's of games played where a team holds the ball with no intent on running an offense. But we should implement a shot clock because of that? I am all for what makes the game better for EVERYONE. Not just for the select few.

Just recently retired to Toledo Bend, in the Fairmount (Six Mile) area, south end of the Lake. Fishing is the sport I love most at this stage in my life. Excited about competing in a few tournaments here on Toledo throughout the year.

I coached Bryce in Jasper. Great guy and will do good for Brookeland. Great kids and great guy leading them. Bryce has been coaching under Mixon for the last two years which has exposed him to the right way of doing things. Brookeland kids deserve all the best and they got a good coach in Coach Gaston.

Juneteenth weekend in Chicago had 40 wounded and 8 killed. Every murder was black on black. Not a PEEP from any protesters. Not even a PEEP.

Yet, he started a war with Iran. He wouldn't have stopped the Ukraine Russia War

Exploiting rules LOL

Any varsity, jv, freshman or AAU teams participating in the SBG basketball tournament this weekend at Lamar University? I know the Pre TABC that was in PA had 6 good teams

How did payton jones do at TABC?

You can't argue with falcon. He or she is always right. He or she will always get the last word.

Dont understand if its such a big push back. Those same "great" coaches will have a strategy for a shot clock also. I know when I played with one in college our coach had his strategy for making offenses get under 12 seconds on the shot clock. We even had a play where when the clock got to 10 seconds we automictically shifted into a box and one on whomever had the ball. Great coaches will always thrive by exploiting rules.

They do it in football dont they. They have a play clock keeper at all levels. At most you raise the door ticket $1.

Well almost a comeback in bottom of ninth but too little too late. Lose 5-4. Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades. That's baseball.

Who is gonna pay for it, cash strapped schools sure can't. New score keeper, new equipment etc, It is not needed.

Me personally idc if there's a shot clock or not, but after reading this post he's not wrong. 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is what Reagan and Baddog call Winning!!!

I understand the district‑talent argument, but let’s be real — lack of talent isn’t the other team’s fault. Every coach has to build around what they’ve got. Some schools have hoopers, some don’t. That’s the nature of high school sports. But that’s exactly why a shot clock doesn’t hurt the game. It doesn’t force anyone to play fast. It just forces everyone to play basketball. You can still run deliberate offense. You can still control tempo. You can still grind out possessions. A 35–40 second clock gives you more than enough time to run multiple actions. What it removes is the ability to stall for two minutes without any intent to score. That’s not “strategy.” That’s hiding behind the clock because you don’t have the talent to compete straight up. And diversity doesn’t disappear. College has a shot clock and you still see: • Princeton offenses • Ball‑screen heavy systems • Motion teams • Post‑dominant teams • Pack‑line defenses All completely different identities. The clock doesn’t erase style — it erases stalling. Most teams who want a shot clock already shoot within 45 seconds anyway. They’re not asking for help on offense. They’re asking for a rule that keeps the game competitive and keeps kids developing real basketball skills. High school players deserve: • More possessions • Real end‑of‑game situations • Preparation for the next level A shot clock doesn’t make everyone play the same. It just prevents one team from turning the game into a freeze‑tag contest because they don’t have the talent to compete possession‑to‑possession.

Ppl trusted president bone spurs with this war.. special kind of stupid

Nothing will change in Iran unless the United States commits ground forces and removes the regime in power. That is unlikely to happen because it would cost American military lives and could become a prolonged, Vietnam-like conflict. Dead soliders and a prolonged war will ruin President Trump's slim chances of hanging on to Republican majorities in the House and Senate during the midterm elections. President Trump can't bully his way out of this situation. He's not going to bomb electrical and sewer infrastructure in Iran. That will turn the Iranian people against him and may create a refugee crisis, which will anger the other nations in the Middle East. President Trump has similar problems in Lebanon. Turkey will not let the United States or Israel put boots on the ground in Lebanon. Iran knows that so Hezbollah keeps playing cat-and-mouse games in Lebanon lobbing missiles at Israel. I don't see how President Trump gets out of this mess unless he forces a regime change in Tehran.
