Bliss Knows He’s Wrong: It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that telling your staff to lie to investigators by saying your murdered player paid his tuition by selling drugs, especially when you’re the one who violated NCAA rules by paying as much as $40,000 in tuition. But at least former Baylor coach David Bliss admits he screwed up. It’s hard not to. Somehow, less than a couple of years after the Baylor tragedy, Bliss is back in coaching with the Dakota Wizards of the Continental Basketball Association. Former Baylor player Carlton Dotson killed his teammate Patrick Dennehy, whose tuition Bliss had been paying. Former assistant coach Abar Rouse tape recorded Bliss telling his assistants to lie to NCAA investigators when they probed the beleagured program. As a result of the tragedy, Baylor is banned from playing any non-conference games this season.

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
