Ernie’s Our Man: Amidst rumors that personal problems might lead to a change, Oregon has repeated the news that head coach Ernie Kent’s contract has been extended through 2010. The extension was first announced on June 20, but they decided to re-announce it with remarks from Kent. In recent months, allegations of marital infidelity have come up on Internet message boards, as well as concerns about travel and cell phone expenditures in the basketball program. The school’s general counsel said Kent has done nothing inappropriate or out of line. In eight seasons at his alma mater, Kent has posted a 149-94 record and led the Ducks to the NCAA Tournament three times, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2002. [7/16/05]

-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
