Olson Will Miss Remainder of Season: Arizona coach Lute Olson will not return to the Wildcats’ sidelines this season. The 73-year-old coach will take off the rest of the year to attend to personal matters, and he has not provided details about those issues. Arizona officials said they support Olson’s decision. Assistant coach Kevin O’Neill will continue to be the team’s interim coach. O’Neill has led the Wildcats since Olson requested time off Nov. 4. He will try to continue Olson’s success streaks at Arizona — 23 consecutive NCAA appearances and 20 consecutive 20-win seasons. The Wildcats have started the season 5-2, including an upset win against No. 9 Texas A&M. [12/07/07]

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
