Bears to Build New Facility: Baylor University’s Board of Regents has approved plans for a new $8 million practice facility for the Baylor men’s and women’s basketball programs. Ground will be broken Oct. 1 for the 43,000 square-foot facility, which will be open next September in time for the 2006-07 season. The facility was needed due to overlap in scheduling the existing practice facility during events at the Ferrell Center. Included in plans for the facility are two full-size practice courts, a 6,600-square foot full-service strength and conditioning center, office suites for the coaching staffs, an entry plaza, a VIP suite and a display corridor. Let’s hope they include a memorial to Patrick Dennehy, as well. [9/10/05]

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.”
