Winning NCAA Championship Pays Off: Coach Bill Self led the Kansas Jayhawks to a school record 37 victories in a season and an impressive victory over Memphis to win the NCAA championship, and three days later, he was given an extension to ensure he stays put. Self turned down his alma mater Oklahoma State and decided to take a lucrative deal that would make him one of college basketball’s highest paid coaches and seal the likelihood that he will finish his career in Kansas. Self has led the Jayhawks to 142 victories and four Big 12 titles in addition to this year’s championship and plans to continue his success there regardless of the potential loss of premium players to this year’s NBA Draft.

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
