Rattlers Ax Gillespie Before Stalking Resolution: Florida A&M has fired coach Mike Gillespie because of his involvement in stalking charges. Police issued the charges three months ago after warning him to stay away from a former girlfriend. He was arrested when he drove by her office in May. Gillespie and his lawyer have been working to find an agreeable solution to the charges. But the university acted first by dismissing Gillespie, who led the Rattlers to two NCAA Tournament appearance in six seasons. Gillespie’s lawyer is upset that the university mishandled the situation — some players knew about the firing before Gillespie did. [8/15/07]

-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.”
