Bad Omen for Sampson?: The NCAA has given Fresno State four years of probation for violations that occurred under the watch of former coach Ray Lopes, who made hundreds of impermissible calls to recruits. The NCAA was harsher with Lopes, giving him a three-year show-cause restriction that means he can’t seek employment without special NCAA consideration and approval. Fresno State has a history of infractions, which was a factor in the NCAA’s decisions. Lopes worked with Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson when the two were at Oklahoma, which is now under review for the same offenses. Based on the Fresno State case, the NCAA seems to consider phone violations a relatively serious offense, which does not bode well for Sampson and his former Sooner employers. [4/27/06]

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
