Amaker Adds to Staff: New Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker hired Kenny Blakeney and Will Wade as assistant coaches and Kirsten Green as the program’s first director of basketball operations. Blakeney played at Duke from 1990-95, when Amaker was an assistant coach at the school, and has been an assistant at Delaware, Saint Bonaventure, La Salle, James Madison, and most recently Marshall. Wade was most recently the director of basketball operations at Clemson, where he earned his undergraduate degree and was then a graduate assistant. Green comes to the school after serving in the same capacity at Michigan, where Amaker had been the head coach for six seasons. She has followed Amaker at his head coaching stops since he first became a head coach at Seton Hall in 1997. [7/2/07]

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.”
