Northwestern Center’s Career Appears Over: Northwestern senior center Mike Thompson, a former McDonald’s All-American who transferred from Duke, is probably done playing basketball after he left the Wildcats. Doctors recently diagnosed Thompson with arrhythmia, a heart condition that produced flu-like symptoms in recent weeks, causing the 6-10 center to miss the past few games for the Wildcats. Wildcat officials have been reluctant to discuss the issue publicly because of privacy concerns. A much-heralded transfer, Thompson had been slow to adjust to Northwestern’s version of the Princeton offense.

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
