Olson Watches Wildcats Practice: Arizona coach Lute Olson, three weeks into a leave of absence, returned to watch the Wildcats practice today. He did not lead the practice and mostly watched from the sidelines. However, he did step onto the court to provide direction a few times. Olson stepped away for personal reasons that are not related to his health, he said. Under assistant coach Kevin O’Neill, the Wildcats are 3-2 and pushed No. 4 Kansas to overtime Sunday before losing by four. Olson has been Arizona’s coach for more than 24 seasons. [11/27/07]

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.”
-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
