Parrotta Takes Head Coaching Opportunity: Hofstra assistant coach Tom Parrotta has become the next head coach at Canisius after deciding to leave the Pride. Hofstra had given Parrotta an extension to reward him for helping the Pride rise to the Colonial Athletic Association’s elite. But Parrotta could not turn down his first opportunity to become a head coach and return to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He had been an assistant at Niagara for six seasons before working at Hofstra for five years. He replaces Mike McDonald, who led Canisius to a 9-20 record this past season. [4/10/06]

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
