Star-Crossed Tiger Tries Duquesne: Memphis forward Almamy Thiero has transferred to Duquesne and will be eligible to play for new coach Ron Everhart immediately. Because of a new rule, graduated players may transfer schools and play that upcoming season without sitting out a year, which is customary for transfers. Thiero graduated from Memphis this past May after four years of injury-induced frustration with the Tigers. Thiero has had a laundry list of serious medical problems that includes a broken leg and blood clots near the lungs. He was available for just one complete season, in which he averaged 0.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. When he arrived at Memphis, Thiero was one of the top recruits of his class. The Dukes must hope that he can fulfill that promise now. [8/30/06]

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
