Coaches Association Castigates Sampson: The National Association of Basketball Coaches has punished Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson, a former NABC board member, for his recruiting violations. Sampson cannot win the organization’s coach of the year award — regionally or nationally — and loses his rights to Final Four tickets. Sampson is the first coach that the NABC’s ethics committee has punished. The decision follows an NCAA investigation that revealed that Sampson and his assistants made 577 inappropriate calls to recruits while they were at Oklahoma. Sampson left the Sooners this off-season to replace Mike Davis at Indiana. The NCAA has banned Sampson from leaving Bloomington to recruit players, and he cannot initiate phone conversations with recruits. [8/22/06]

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
