Buckeyes Give Matta a Raise: Ohio State’s Board of Trustees has approved a raise and extension for coach Thad Matta, who led the Buckeyes to the national championship game last season. Extended through 2016, Matta will earn about $2.5 million a year, nearly equal to football coach Jim Tressel. In three seasons at Ohio State, Matta has an 81-22 record and has recruited some of the most talented players in the country. Center Greg Oden went No. 1 in the NBA Draft, and fellow Buckeye Mike Conley went No. 4. [9/23/07]

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.”
-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
