Patton Back in the Saddle: Former Colorado head coach Rick Patton, who stepped down from the position with the Buffaloes just 11 days ago, was named Northern Illinois’ new basketball coach Monday. Patton, who spent 11 years with the Buffaloes, announced his departure from Colorado in October after growing tired of waiting for a contract extension. He had a 184-160 record with the team, six winning seasons and two trips to the NCAA tournament in 1997 and 2003. The 48-year-old will try to resurrect a Northern Illinois program that lives in the shadow of football. The Huskies, coming off a 7-23 season, have had only one winning season in the past 11 years.

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
