Mike Jarvis is the head Men's basketball coach at Florida Atlantic University . He has coached at Boston University, George Washington University, and St. John's University. He also has worked as a commentator for college basketball games on ESPN. His career college coaching record in over 18 seasons is 364-201 [1] and is one of four Division I coaches to have won 100 games at three different colleges.
Jarvis was born in Massachusetts and played high school basketball at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School. He also coached at Cambridge Rindge and Latin, where his players included Patrick Ewing, Rumeal Robinson and current George Washington head coach Karl Hobbs. He played basketball and baseball at Northeastern University, graduating in 1968.
Jarvis became head coach at Boston University in 1985, becoming the Terriers' all-time winningest coach in five seasons with a 101-50 record (he was later overtaken by Dennis Wolff). Boston University reached the NCAA Tournament in 1988 and 1990 under Jarvis.
He was hired at George Washington in 1990, leading the Colonials to three NCAA tournament appearances, including the round of 16 in the 1993 NCAA Tournament, the Colonials' best tournament performance. He coached the United States under-22 men's team in 1993. Jarvis also led the Colonials to two victories over number one ranked UMass, compiling a 143-100 record at George Washington.
After the 1998 season, Jarvis accepted the head coaching job at St. John's University after Fran Fraschilla was fired, leading the Redmen (now the Red Storm) to the Elite Eight in the 1999 NCAA Tournament and the 2000 Big East tournament championship. They won the National Invitation Tournament in 2003.
The next season, however, was an unmitigated disaster. The Red Storm stumbled out of the gate, losing to several nonconference teams that they usually beat with ease. Jarvis was fired on December 19, 2003--the first Big East coach to be fired during the season as a result of multiple scandals which came to light over the course of the season. Among these, a junior college transfer had been charged with assaulting a female student, and a senior guard had been kicked off the team after being caught smoking marijuana near St. John's campus in Queens. The culmination of the scandals occurred during a road trip to Pitt on which several players slipped out of the team hotel after curfew,went to a striptease establishment, and were later accused by one dancer of sexual assault. Charges were later dropped when it was revealed that one of the persons present that night had filmed the proceedings on his cell phone. Unsurprisingly, these events caused Jarvis to be replaced on an interim basis by assistant Kevin Clark. His final record at St. John's was 110-61.
During the 2003-04 season, St. John's center Abe Keita claimed that a member of Jarvis' basketball staff had paid him nearly $300 a month for the past four seasons. As a result, St. John's placed itself on two years' probation, withdrew from postseason consideration for the 2004-05 season, and forfeited 43 wins in which Keita participated--including the 2002 NCAA Tournament and the 2003 NIT. The NCAA accepted St. John's sanctions. Jarvis was faulted for not properly monitoring Keita's situation, but was otherwise cleared of wrongdoing.[1]
Prior to coming back with the Owls, Jarvis worked for ESPN as a college basketball commentator, and Yahoo! Sports as their NCAA men's basketball analyst, and continues to work as a speaker. Jarvis has recently launched an Internet broadcast service that enables colleges and schools to stream full live sports over the Internet at www.jarvistv.com to anybody around the world. He currently lives in Boca Raton, Florida, and has reportedly accepted a four-year contract to become the head coach at Florida Atlantic [2].
