Wolverines to Retire Buntin’s Jersey: A Michigan legend, Bill Buntin, will become only the fifth player in Wolverine history to have his jersey retired. The Wolverines will honor the late Buntin during the Jan. 7 Big Ten opener against Purdue. Buntin was a monster on the court, averaging 22.2 points and 15.7 rebounds per game in his sophomore year and 23.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per game the following year. No. 22 led the Wolverines into national prominence in the early 1960s before the Detroit Pistons drafted him in 1965. A two sports star, the Detroit Lions also drafted Buntin. But Buntin opted to return to school when he was 26. He never finished school or played another game because he died of a heart attack during a pickup basketball game.

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
