Afflalo Must Sit ’til September: UCLA guard Arron Afflalo, a rising junior who flirted with the NBA Draft, will not be able to play basketball for six to eight weeks because of a stress fracture in his left foot. Afflalo declared for the draft after his sophomore season, but he did not hire an agent and opted to return to the Bruins after scouts made it clear that he was not a first-round draft pick. Afflalo helped lead UCLA to the national championship last season and promises to be one of the critical players on a team that loses three starters. He should be ready well before the team opens official practices in October. [7/20/06]

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
