Olson Switches Centers: Arizona coach Lute Olson will start redshirt freshman forward Mohamed Tangara tonight against Sonoma State instead of junior center Kirk Walters. Walters had been slated to start at center for the Wildcats, but Olson pulled the trigger on the switch to motivate Walters to play harder. With plenty of depth, the Wildcats can afford to punish bad or lazy play. The question is which category did Walters fall into. And who will start when the games actually count toward Arizona’s record? [11/09/05]

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.”
