Pitino Says Padgett Could Be Out Until February: According to a post on his Web site, Louisville coach Rick Pitino doesn’t expect junior center David Padgett to be ready to play until January or February. Padgett underwent off-season knee surgery and has been rehabbing his knee for months. It’s another big hit on a Louisville team that missed the NCAA Tournament last season after making a Final Four run the year before. The team also enters the season without power forwards Chad Millard and Brian Johnson, who transferred to other schools. [10/18/06]

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
