To help promote the goal of a nonprofit organization, Samaritan’s Feet, several coaches will go shoeless during games in the next week and a half. IUPUI coach Ron Hunter started the trend last season after the nonprofit asked Hunter to go shoeless in coordination with an effort to collect 40,000 pairs of shoes. By the time Hunter stepped barefoot onto the court against Oakland, Mich., the charity had received 140,000 pairs of shoes. This year, the organization seeks to hit the 1 million mark and has enlisted the support of Butler coach Brad Stevens, South Dakota State coach Scott Nagy, Indiana State coach Kevin McKenna and Detroit Mercy coach Ray McCallum, among others.

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
