Former Syracuse Star McNamara Released by Olympiakos: Former Orange standout Gerry McNamara was released by Olympiakos of Greece. McNamara, who had signed a one-year deal with the club worth approximately $200,000, had played less than a minute of his team’s first five games and looked to see even less time on the floor after Olympiakos signed another point guard to fill the spot of injured star Arvydas Macijauskas. McNamara, who left Syracuse as the school’s all-time leader in three-pointers, was selected by the CBA’s Albany Patroons in September. He plans to return to the United States with his fiancée this week, and the NBA remains his ultimate goal. [11/29/06]

-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.”
