Ford Still Owes: According to an Eastern Kentucky administrator, former men’s basketball coach Travis Ford owes the school more than $225,000 for his contract buyout. The sum represents the money remaining on his deal at the school, which was extended to April 30, 2007. Ford’s new contract at Massachusetts is a five-year deal worth $200,000 annually that could double with incentives. Ford guided the Colonels to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 26 years and a school-record 22 wins, with the season ending in a 72-64 loss to Kentucky in Indianapolis. Former West Virginia assistant Jeff Neubauer was hired this past Monday to succeed Ford. [4/17/05]

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
