Olson Honors Seniors at Arizona: Lute Olson, Arizona’s coach who is in the midst of a leave of absence this season, appeared at Arizona’s senior night to honor his recruits who will soon be graduating. Reporters weren’t allowed to speak to the coach. However, interim coach Kevin O’Neill, who has already been announced as Olson’s ultimate replacement, said there was no rift between him and Olson, despite reports by CBS to the contrary. Olson didn’t sit in the stands during the game, but his estranged wife, Christine, did. Olson filed for divorce from Christine Dec. 6, the same day he said his leave of absence would be extended until the end of the season. In January, Christine filed a court challenge to that divorce.

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
