Wright Rewarded for Success: Villanova coach Jay Wright is having a good week. First, the Wildcats knocked off No. 1 Connecticut to claim first-place in the Big East. Then the school handed Wright a seven-year contract extension that will keep him on the Main Line well into the next decade. The school needed approval from its board of trustees before officially extending Wright’s contract. The board happened to meet the morning after the Connecticut victory, so the timing, though coincidental, is perfect. The school had contemplated an extension for Wright after Villanova’s run in the NCAA Tournament last season. [2/15/06]

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.”
