Facilities Fit for a King: Villanova wants the country to take the Wildcats seriously as a national powerhouse and championship contender. But the school’s practice facility and Pavilion, where the Wildcats host elite Big East competition, do not befit a regal college basketball program. Yet. The school has plans to build a new practice facility by 2007 to join other Big East brethren that have state-of-the-art facilities, which help attract blue chip recruits and retain promising coaches, such as Jay Wright. The school also plans to give the Pavilion a makeover, including alterations to seats, concessions, restrooms and the student section. [10/28/05]

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
