He didn't get more time despite his production because even though he has good height, he's rail thin and gets abused defensively. Pretty much all his game is shooting 3s too so he's most productive when he's hot. But if the shot not there in a game, he doesn't really contribute much anywhere else. BUT, he's also VERY raw. To even be that productive from where he started was a good leap. He's a great kid for a team like us to take a chance on. If he were to make another leap like he did from pre-college to now, he could be a very good player.

6-1 now in 4th

Fam?

There were fake tweets yesterday, are these ones real?

Its a crazy knew world. You have UConn getting ready to offer one of their stars a bigger deal than being a Top 10 NBA pick to get him to come back. Saw reports of a proven Euro from the Euroleague getting $6-$7M offers.

Hopefully she avoids that mess. I know Caldwell thinks she has fixed it by firing the assistant coach that was undermining her but the pressure from the Tennessee fan base to win now and win often after how this season went could get ugly fast considering it will be 100% a new team. They wanted her fired but the AD decided to give her another year. Just not the environment I hope Mackie picks.

True, but I really, really, really and really wanted a road sweep. We need the big bats to show today as I expect their Sunday pitching to be tough. C'mon ladies, let's ruin their Sunday!

I have worked a number of startups and been on the otherside in M&A and sold my one company. I have never seen a consistent skill base and at least once (maybe twice) I saw pure dumb luck. So to be more clear, to me selling a company doesn't mean you have a specific skill. My skill was timing, i saw the market turning and cashed out. But my company didn't mske me money on the sale, the assets did.

The whole private equity ownership (at least partial) of Octo also means Octo had backing from people who buy and sell companies for a living which means its harder to attribute responsibility for the sale to IBM.

Yeah I figured you did. My reply was to both of you actually, not just your posts.

I disagree with your last sentence here though. Selling a company proves lots of skills in my opinion. I've sold a few and I regard myself as fairly clever but I've never sold anything for a billion dollars. To do that takes some serious skill. Maybe not "build an organization skill" but some serious skills. I'll just leave it at that unless you want me to elaborate.

and i upvoted you above to counter the downvotes. no need for those.

People with names on things don't usually give money anonymously in my experience

I don't think NJ as a state ever required masters degrees for public school teachers but many of the districts are certainly competitive enough to be that selective.

Bachelor's Degree and Praxis is minimum for certificate

Unless they have changed things, NJ also requires a masters to teach, so teachers need to be paid more and on top of that they are union so they need to be paid more.
