Mountain West: “Vegas, Baby, Vegas”: The Mountain West Conference has announced that the conference tournament will return to Las Vegas for the 2006-07 season, after its three-year contract with Denver’s Pepsi Center expires. According to the MWC, schools have lost between $20,000 to $30,000 per school annually since the change, mostly due to reduced attendance. And let’s face it, which is a better-looking option in early March? Unless you’re a snowboarder, of course. The switch to Denver was led by coaches who didn’t like UNLV’s home-court advantage, but those coaches (Rick Majerus of Utah, Steve Cleveland of BYU) are no longer coaching in the conference.

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
