Texas’ Durant Enters NBA Draft: Standout freshman Kevin Durant has decided to enter the NBA draft after just one year at Texas. A new NBA rule did not allow Durant to enter the NBA after college, requiring at least one year of college. He averaged 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds a game and led his team to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Durant is ready to go to the NBA and make a difference. “It will be a challenge…. I don’t want to be just a player in the NBA. I want to have an impact,” Durant said. [4/11/07]

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.”
