Northern Illinois Returns to the Hardwood: Northern Illinois played the first athletic game on campus Tuesday night against Western Michigan since a gunman killed five students in a lecture hall Feb. 14 before killing himself. The Huskies lost 56-49 to Western Michigan, but the coaches and players said the game’s meaning was deeper than a win or loss. Before the game, players from both teams locked arms at center court to observe a moment of silence. Northern Illinois led by six in the second half before the Broncos clamped down on defense to end the game on an 18-5 run. [2/27/08]

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
