IUPUI Will Deliver 200,000 Shoes to Nigeria: To raise awareness about poverty in Nigeria, IUPUI coach Ron Hunter has worked in conjunction with Samaritan’s Feet, a Charlotte-based charity, to collect nearly 200,000 pairs of shoes for Nigerian children. He jump-started the movement by going shoeless during the Jaguars’ Jan. 24 game against Oakland. The charity wants to send 1 million pairs of shoes this year and 10 million pairs in 10 years. Hunter and the team will depart July 25 to deliver the shoes, visit various locations in Nigeria and hold basketball clinics. [5/20/08]

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
