Stony Brook Rewards Pikiell for Future Success: Following a 4-24 season, few coaches are fortunate enough to keep their jobs, let alone receive a contract extension. But Stony Brook coach Steve Pikiell defies common logic, largely because he managed to recruit one of the top 40 classes for next season, better than many major-conference programs. With the promise of future success, Stony Brook officials rewarded Pikiell with a contract extension through 2011. That essentially gives the coach a chance to lead Stony Brook to uncharted success with his incoming freshman class. [3/27/06]

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.”
-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
