Stokes Departs East Carolina for Good: Former East Carolina coach Ricky Stokes and the university have decided to part ways, initiating a buyout clause that will let Stokes leave for good. He was reassigned within the department three weeks ago, and assistant coach Mack McCarthy became the head coach. However, Stokes and university officials changed their minds, choosing to end the relationship altogether. Stokes had been the Pirates’ coach for two years and failed to elevate East Carolina to prominence in Conference USA. [8/23/07]

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.”
