Injured Brown Returns to Illini: Rising senior guard Dee Brown will return to Illinois rather than remain in the NBA Draft, largely because Brown broke his foot during a pre-draft camp. The injury will prevent Brown from practicing until late August. Brown had been considered a borderline first-round pick in the NBA Draft, and he couldn’t increase his stock after the injury. Brown averaged 13.3 points and 4.5 assists per game last season for the Illini, and he led the team with 70 steals. [6/21/05]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
