Collins Back to Lead Flames in 2007-08: Illinois-Chicago coach Jimmy Collins, back with the team after taking an extended leave of absence early in the year, will resume his coaching duties beginning next season. The Flames’ all-time winningest coach had surgery in January to repair an aortic aneurysm. He returned recently but is still recovering physically and will not coach until the 2007-08 season. Mark Coomes, Collins’ replacement during his absence, has led the Flames to a 4-9 record. He snapped a seven-game losing streak Saturday at Detroit and improved to 10-16 overall and 5-8 in the Horizon League. Collins has an all-time 168-146 record at Illinois-Chicago. He qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 1998, 2002 and 2004. [2/14/07]

Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's 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.”
