Cards Prepare for Canada Without Two: Louisville has opened practice in preparation for a Labor Day trip that includes three games against Canadian university teams. But sophomore point guard Andree McGee and freshman forward Derrick Character are not among the Cardinals practicing because of health issues. McGee is battling a case of dehydration that has landed him in the hospital. Coach Rick Pitino said doctors are running many tests to determine the best plan of action for now and during the season. Character slightly sprained his shoulder blocking a teammate’s shot in practice but should be ready soon. These injuries follow the loss of starting guard Brandon Jenkins to a broken leg and forward Brian Johnson to transfer. [8/29/06]

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.”
