Huggins Goes Quietly: A day after Cincinnati told coach Bob Huggins that he must resign or be fired, the school’s most successful coach opted for the former. Huggins walked away from the program where he has won 399 games, collecting what probably will be about $3 million in a buyout of his contract. But under Huggins, controversy consistently surrounded the program, from Huggins’ drunk driving arrest last year to low graduation rates to multiple players facing legal trouble. In May, school officials made it clear that they would not renew Huggins’ contract when it expired in 2007. The public lack of support hurt recruiting, so Huggins and his lawyer pushed for the school to reconsider. It did – and decided to make the coaching change sooner rather than later. Assistant coach Andy Kennedy is the frontrunner to become interim coach.

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
