Younger Knight Is Red Raiders’ Heir Apparent: Texas Tech officials have approved Pat Knight, coach Bob Knight’s son and an assistant coach, as the Red Raiders’ replacement for the elder Knight, whenever he decides to retire. Bob Knight is entering his 40th season as a coach and trails Dean Smith by 25 wins on the career Division I win list. His son has been an assistant for six seasons and coached the Wisconsin Blast of the International Basketball Association for one season. He lacks much experience as a head coach, but school officials consider him an up-and-coming assistant coach. They definitely are gambling that pedigree counts for something in coaching. [10/01/05]

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
