MIKE JARVIS Head Coach (3rd season) 392-250 250 Overall Record (29-48 at FAU) Northeastern 68 NCAA Head Coaching Experience 1985-90 90 Boston University 1990-98 98 George Washington 2008-pres. University Mike Jarvis is in his 22 nd season as a Division I men s basketball head coach and his third as coach of the University Owls. Jarvis accomplishments place him among the nation s elite college basketball coaches, having led three different programs into the NCAA Tournament during stops at Boston University (1985-90), George Washington University (1990-98) and St. John s University (1998-04). At Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) formally named Rindge Technical High School Jarvis flourished as a young head coach, guiding the city s lone public high school to three-consecutive state titles (1979, 80 and 81), while compiling a near-perfect 77-1 record during that span. Jarvis prep players at CRLS included Patrick Ewing, Rumeal Robinson and current George Washington head coach Karl Hobbs. Jarvis remained at CRLS until Boston University (BU) offered him the opportunity to begin a collegiate head coaching career in 1985. Immediate success ensued when Jarvis guided the Terriers to a 21-10 record and a berth into the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in his first season. He won two ECAC North Atlantic Conference Championships (1988 and 90) and made three postseason tournament appearances at BU. Jarvis became the program s all-time winning coach (101-51 record) and led the Terriers to the NCAA Tournament twice (1988 and 90). Prior to his arrival, the Terriers had gone to the Big Dance just two times in its 26-year history. In 1990, Jarvis accepted his first coaching position outside the state of Massachusetts, taking over at George Washington University (GW) in Washington D.C. Jarvis immediately transformed GW into one of the nation best teams, finishing 19-12 in his first season (1990-91) and earning an invitation into the NIT. Making his initial accomplishments at GW even more impressive was the fact that the Colonials were just one year removed from a 1-27 campaign in 1988-89. In his third season at GW, Jarvis led the Colonials to its first 21-win season in 38 years. That 1992-93 team qualified for the first of four NCAA Tournament appearances during Jarvis tenure at GW and went on to advance into the tournament s Sweet 16. An 18-12 season and return trip to the NCAA in 1993-94 firmly positioned GW among the nation s top college programs. Jarvis compiled a 152-90 record in eight consecutive winning seasons at GW, leading the Colonials to seven postseason tournament appearances and three 20-win seasons. During a record-setting final year in 1997-98, the Colonials would achieve a university-best national ranking of No. 17 by the Associated Press. Jarvis knack for recruiting and developing national and international talent at GW resulted in 11 players scoring more than 1,000 points during their careers. He became just the second men s basketball coach in the program s history to be elected to the George Washington University Athletic Hall of Fame. After outstanding tenures at BU and GW, the 13-year coaching veteran accepted the challenge of coaching a storied St. John s University program in Queens, New York that had enjoyed just one winning season in the five years prior to his appointment. That same season, Jarvis was elected president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Again success was immediate as Jarvis led the Red Storm to a 28-9 record in his first season at St. John s and his first appearance in an NCAA Regional Final just one step away from the Final Four. From 1998-04, in six seasons (five complete), Jarvis went 110-61 at St. John s. Under his direction, the Red Storm won the BIG EAST Tournament Championship in 2000 and won the NIT Championship at Madison Square Garden in 2003. Following his experience at St. John s, Jarvis moved to Boca Raton and embarked on a new career as a basketball analyst for ESPN and Yahoo. Since that time, he also has become a motivational speaker and launched an Internet broadcast service, Jarvis TV, that enables colleges and community organizations such as churches to stream live events and programming over the Internet. FAU has offered Jarvis his fourth collegiate head coaching stop. Like Jarvis rapid climb among the collegiate coaching ranks, FAU has made a rapid ascent from the program s first season in 1988-89. After just five years, FAU made the transition into Division I. One of just eight active coaches to have won 100-plus games at three different schools, Jarvis hopes to join Lefty Driesell as one of just two to have done so with four. 16. Despite not taking over the FAU program until May 2008, Jarvis was able to sign a four-player class that included Shavar Richardson, who led all Sun Belt freshmen in scoring and Alex Tucker, who set school records for assists in a game and a season. For his second season, Jarvis signed a seven-player class that included Raymond Taylor, who broke Tucker s school record for assists in a season and Greg Gantt, who was among the league leaders in scoring and three-point percentage. Both players were named Third-Team All-Sun Belt at the season s end. Jarvis and his wife, Connie, live in Boca Raton and have two adult children, Mike II and Dana Shaiyen, along with two grandchildren, Geoffrey and Ian.
