New Coach, Same Story: When Cincinnati president Nancy Zimpher forced out former coach Bob Huggins, she sent a clear statement that she would not tolerate academic or disciplinary problems, especially among athletes and coaches. Huggins may be gone, but the problems aren’t. Sophomore walk-on Ryan Patzwald was arrested for driving under the influence and told interim coach Andy Kennedy that he would quit the team to focus on personal issues, presumably figuring out how to separate alcohol consumption with vehicular safety. Police arrested Patzwald while driving on I-275 with a .17 blood alcohol content level. The 5-11 guard only averaged 2.6 minutes per game last season, but his legal problems are an extension of Huggins’ legacy. Or they’re an indication that as much as Zimpher tries, she can’t force student-athletes to make good decisions. [11/10/05]

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
