Akron Coach Given Extension: Keith Dambrot, who guided Akron to a school record-tying 26 wins this past season, was given a seven-year contract extension. Dambrot’s new deal keeps him at the school until at least 2014. The Zips’ record has improved each year under Dambrot, culminating in a MAC East championship this past season. Dambrot, who coached LeBron James at St. Vincent-St. Mary’s in Akron, was unable to guide the Zips to the post-season last year after they were defeated on a banked three-pointer as time expired in the MAC championship game against Miami, Ohio.

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
