USA Wants Coach K: Reports out of New York have named Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski as the top choice to coach Team USA in the 2006 World Championships this summer and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The USA Basketball selection committee, chaired by Phoenix Suns CEO Jerry Colangelo, will make the formal announcement on October 29th. The U.S. team is looking for a strong bid following a sixth-place finish at the 2002 World Championships and a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Perhaps Krzyzewski can instill a Herb Brooks mentality to the team. However, Duke athletics director Joe Alleva dismissed reports that Krzyzewski would sit out a year to coach the team for Beijing. San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has also been mentioned as a top candidate. [10/12/05]

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
