Former Coach of the Year Heads to Georgia State: Former Mississippi coach Rod Barnes, the 2001 Naismith national coach of the year, has replaced Michael Perry as Georgia State’s basketball coach. Barnes, 41, had a respectable 141-109 record in his eight-year career at his alma mater, Mississippi. His highlight year came in 2001 when he led the Rebels to a school-record 27-win season and a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament. However, he was fired in 2006 following four straight losing campaigns. Barnes was an assistant at Oklahoma this season. [3/22/07]

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
