Michael D. "Mike" Jarvis (born April 12, 1945) is an American college basketball coach most recently as 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 and is one of four Division I coaches to have won 100 games at three different colleges.
Jarvis was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and played high school basketball at Rindge Technical High School, the predecessor to Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. He also coached at Rindge and Latin, where his players included NBA players Patrick Ewing, Rumeal Robinson and former 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 Bob Brown, then 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 Sweet 16 in the 1993 NCAA Tournament, the Colonials' best tournament performance. The team was defeated by the "Fab Five" Michigan Wolverines, who later vacated the entire season due to a scandal with a booster. Jarvis also led the Colonials to two victories over number one ranked UMass, compiling a 143–100 record at George Washington.
