Olsen Done with Utes: Utah backup point guard Josh Olsen has been informed by the university that there will not be a scholarship available to him when he returns from his Mormon mission next season. Olsen, in the middle of a two-year mission to Florida, averaged 2.4 points and 1.6 assists in 14 minutes per game for Utah’s 24-9 team in 2003-04. Former Utes head coach Rick Majerus had promised Olen a scholarship, but then reneged on the arrangement, forcing Olsen to walk-on for the 2002-03 season, with the promise that he would be under scholarship the following years. However, this wasn’t communicated to new head coach Ray Giacoletti, and since Olsen was never on scholarship, he had no knowledge of the situation. [10/14/05]

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
