Harvard Signs Amaker as New Coach: Former Michigan coach Tommy Amaker has been named Harvard’s new coach. The 41-year-old was fired from Michigan last month after six seasons with the Wolverines. Despite 20-win seasons in three of its last four seasons and a 2004 NIT championship, Michigan never regained its status as a national power and didn’t reach the NCAA tournament under Amaker. He went 22-13 this past season, including an 8-8 record in Big Ten Conference play. Harvard, coming off a 12-16 season, fired former coach Frank Sullivan March 5. The Crimson was only 178-245 in 16 seasons with Sullivan. [4/13/07]

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
