So far today I've learned that Utah Valley is a college that contains a D1 basketball program and Mike Jarvis is still alive.

What a day!

Isn't that where Isiah Thomas coached? Or was that International.

They sure like those New York retreads in Florida.

Looks like a former SU coach might be the reason.

"Investigation into potential NCAA rules violation that included former Syracuse assistant Bernie Fine may have led to FAU decision to fire coach Mike Jarvis."

"FAU did not immediately respond to media requests asking for an explanation of the decision, but in recent weeks FAU had been investigating the presence of former Syracuse coach Bernie Fine at Owls' practices as being a potential NCAA violation."

Why would that be a violation?

I have heard that Jarvis rep is that he is lazy -- smart guy, but puts little effort into the craft.

I don't know but of course a story will be coming out on ESPN shortly.

Maybe they kept the blinds pulled at the practice facility. Clearly indicative of wrongdoing.

I know football has a limit on the number of coaches and graduate assistants, does bball have one, too? Maybe having Fine attend practices put them over their limit?

That makes no sense. There is no show cause applied to Bernie. And if he's not being paid, it doesn't violate the limit on paid coaches. :noidea:

Maybe. But Bernie was also asked by Miami to come in to give them pointers on the zone, and it doesn't appear to have landed them in any hot water.

You can have coaches visit your practice. A couple years ago when he was between jobs, Larry Brown hung out at Villanova's practices and even followed them on the road for a bit.

Good coach, but he didn't make much of an effort to recruit.

Well, those that said that Fine would cost coach his job turned out correst. Just the wrong Head coach.

Now they are saying that Jarvis was going to be fired so he quit instead but will stay on until the end of the season.

Of course - retiring sounds so much better.

So we can expect the ESPN crawler for the game tomorrow to read "yada yada yada...NCAA violations related to former Syracuse assistant Bernie Fine, previously accused of….yada yada"

Maybe we can have Verne Lundquist do the game with Mark Schwarz as the sideline reporter too?

Kinda sorta.

A little like the Rob Moore situation, Jarvis didn't like playing the ring-kissing game with sleazy AAU people and egomaniac New York high school coaches. So he started to miss out on top-level players and stopped winning.

If it weren't for that, I'd say he's a perfect fit for any Boston College opening (he's an old eastern New England guy with good connections out there). Because recruiting a wide area is so important for success in the ACC, though, that probably wouldn't work out. Too bad. Good guy.
