Knight Tied at 879 Wins: Texas Tech coach Bob Knight tied Dean Smith’s record of 879 Division I men’s basketball victories by beating Bucknell Saturday night. In his 41 seasons as a coach, Knight is known for his violent temper and aggressive style of coaching. This season, Knight has tried to keep the focus on his team and players instead of the wins, and he also insists that his winning record is a reflection of his past teams and not himself. “I hope those kids that played at Army back in ’65, I hope some of them watched the game today and can look at themselves or their grandchildren and can say, `I was there when that son of a bitch started.”‘ [12/24/06]

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
