The Stags have added Mike Jarvis ll to their coaching staff for the rest of the year. Many know Mike as an Associate Director of Athletic Development who has usually been seen at most all of our games. But as the son of former famous coach Mike Jarvis who among other things coached at St. John's in college and mentored Patrick Ewing back in high school, Mike Jr. has done a lot of coaching himself. Article up now on the website if you want to know the details. Good move I think and makes me wonder what took them so long to do this considering he was right here on campus all along.

"Mike Jarvis II has a wealth of experience from several of the premier major and mid-major programs in the country. Having already been a part of our team for several years in his current role with Advancement, he will be a great asset to have on staff for the remainder of the MAAC schedule," said Casey. "Thank you to Wally Halas, Brett Burchette and the University Advancement team for allowing Mike to take on this role. Their commitment to our program has always been exceptional, and this is another example of their willingness to go the extra mile to support the young men on our team."
"I'm looking forward to getting in the gym and working with Coach Casey, his staff and the team," Jarvis said. "The student-athletes in this program are outstanding young men and talented, dedicated basketball players, and I am excited to help them reach their potential as individuals and as a team this season."
