The Other La Salle Rape Trial Delayed: In the same week that two teammates were found not guilty of raping a 19-year-old student, former La Salle Explorer Dzaflo Larkai had his rape trial delayed until December. Larkai was charged for a 2003 incident in which a women’s basketball player said she got drunk and awoke to find Larkai on top of her having sex with her. She did not come forward with the allegations for 14 months because she said the coaches of both basketball teams discouraged her from talking. Only when Gary Neal and Michael Cleaves were charged with rape in another case did the woman come forward. The fiasco led to the firing of both basketball coaches and the disruption of the Explorer program, despite no guilty convictions. So much for innocent until proven guilty, huh? [11/10/05]

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
