Tournament Expansion Gets No Love: The committees responsible for the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball championships met in Orlando, Fla., last week to discuss a possible expansion plan, among other things. Despite the support of some coaches — especially ones from teams that just missed the NCAA Tournament — the committee members opted to end the debate early. They considered the effects that a larger tournament would have on fan support, TV ratings and scheduling. Although the discussions did not go anywhere this year, the precedent of even considering expansion lends hope to those who want to see anywhere from one or two more teams to another 63 added to the field.

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
