Hokies Suspend Washington: Before the ACC or NCAA could consider a penalty, Virginia Tech suspended sophomore forward Deron Washington for one game after he apparently tried to kick Duke senior Lee Melchionni while both were fighting for the ball on the court. Washington publicly apologized for his action, adding that he was trying to quickly get up and unintentionally put his foot in Melchionni’s face. Virginia Tech promptly suspended Washington for the team’s game at Wake Forest tomorrow because of “conduct detrimental to the game of basketball.” Washington averages 10.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per 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
