NCAA Ponders Rules Changes: As it has done in previous seasons, the NCAA will tweak the layout of the court during early season tournaments. In tournaments such as the Maui Invitational, the lane will be a foot wider, the three-point line will be a foot farther away from the basket and an arc in which defenders cannot draw charging calls will be drawn three feet from the center of the hoop. The NCAA vigorously tracks the statistics from these games to determine how the rules changes would affect the game. For example, the deeper three-point line has not made much of a difference at all in recent years. Although teams don’t jack up fewer three-pointers, players could benefit from the deeper range when NBA scouts evaluate them to determine if their shooting in college would extend to the professional level.

-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.”
