Bama Backcourt Nearly Non-Existent: Alabama’s starting lineup could feature only one guard and four forwards this season thanks to defections and academic problems. The latest hit came when JuCo transfer Ray George was deemed academically ineligible. Alabama also lost Kennedy Winston, who left for the NBA Draft, and Earnest Shelton, who graduated. The only swingmen on the roster favor the small forward position rather than shooting guard. The larger roster could create match-up problems for both the Crimson Tide and their opponents. But the lack of any natural shooters means that the Tide cannot afford to fall behind. And they can’t afford foul trouble from point guard Ronald Steele. [8/23/05]

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
