Islanders on the Straight and Arrow: Texas A&M – Corpus Christi has one of the more awkward school names in college basketball. But get used to it under coach Ronnie Arrow. Under his tenure, the Islanders have jump-started a non-existent program. Arrow has led the team to an 88-76 record in six seasons as head coach. The school rewarded his success by extending his contract another three years through 2008. Last season, the Islanders finished 20-8, including wins against major conference opponents like TCU, Florida State and Baylor. The Islanders also beat NCAA Tournament participant Old Dominion. This season, the Islanders join the Southland Conference. With Arrow guiding the Islanders, it seems only a matter of time until Texas A&M-Corpus Christi appears in your brackets in March.

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
