Eagles Wrap Up Skinner for Another Year: Boston College extended the contract of coach Al Skinner by one year. He will remain on the Chestnut Hill sidelines at least through 2011, which will include the team’s first five seasons in the ACC after the Eagles bolted the Big East this year. Skinner has guided the Eagles to four NCAA Tournaments in the past five years and a record of 147-100. That’s the best five-year stretch in school history. The only obstacle to keeping Skinner at Boston College is potential offers from higher profile programs, which almost certainly will come if he continues to lead the Eagles to success. [9/22/05]

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
