Fox Earns Reward for Remaining in Reno: Nebraska courted Nevada coach Mark Fox, but the two-year Wolf Pack leader decided to remain in Reno. By declining the offer, Fox turned down a higher salary and more high-profile exposure at a Big 12 school. Nevada officials recognized Fox’s loyalty by agreeing to start the process of giving Fox a $100,000 raise. He recently signed a five-year contract that would pay him $400,000 this season and raise his salary $25,000 each subsequent season. The raise would bump that starting salary to $500,000. In two seasons in Reno, Fox has led the Wolf Pack to a 52-13 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances. The team returns four starters, including Nick Fazekas, the WAC’s best player, so expectations are high this coming season. [8/15/06]

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
