Pro career
Jarvis was selected by the San Francisco Warriors of the National Basketball Association in the sixth round (45th overall) of the 1965 NBA draft, but was cut by the team.

He was a member of the 1967–68 Pittsburgh Pipers team that won the 1968 ABA Championship.
Coaching
In 1971, Jarvis was hired as the head basketball coach at Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NPAjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BO0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=791%2C4148242 |work=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |agency=(photo) |title=Makes debut tonight |date=November 26, 1971 |page=43}} After three seasons, he was hired by the University of Idaho in Moscow in March 1974, following the resignation of eight-year head coach Wayne Anderson after the elimination of full-time assistant coaches. The Vandals had finished no higher than sixth place in the Big Sky for the three previous seasons.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vZdfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=SjEMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5068,6898352|newspaper=Lewiston Morning Tribune|title=Idaho picks Spokane Falls' Jarvis for basketball job|agency=Associated Press |date=March 29, 1974|page=17 }} After four seasons, all with last place finishes in the conference, Jarvis resigned in June 1978 under recurring allegations{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ekpOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Bu4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6407%2C2799414|newspaper=Spokesman-Review|last=Missildine|first=Harry|title=Idaho will stand by Jarvis|date=January 24, 1978|page=15}}{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=l4RfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4DAMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3907%2C7501734|newspaper=Lewiston Morning Tribune|last=Drosendahl |first=Glenn |title=Penalties harsher than necessary – Belknap |date=January 28, 1978 |page=1B }} of illegal recruiting.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19780628&id=FyJOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5u0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6822,5483626 |newspaper=Spokesman-Review |last=Payne |first=Bob |title=Jim Jarvis resigns as new probe looms |date=June 28, 1978 |page=20}}{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=88VeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CDIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5038%2C8447024 |newspaper=Lewiston Morning Tribune |title=Monson named UI basketball coach |date=August 23, 1978 |page=1B}}{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5steAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nzIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2497,4521846 |newspaper= Lewiston Morning Tribune |title=Vandals avoid further penalties |date=November 11, 1978 |page=2B}} The program had been placed on probation for one year in January, resulting in a reprimand for Jarvis and his assistant coach by the university.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=D_tLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BPkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3938%2C2588498|newspaper=Spokane Daily Chronicle |title=Vandals dealt one-year rap|agency=Associated Press |date=January 27, 1978|page=26}}{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=loRfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4DAMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3935%2C7269258 |newspaper=Lewiston Morning Tribune |last=Drosendahl |first=Glenn |title=Idaho basketball on NCAA probation |date=January 27, 1978 |page=1B}}
Jarvis was succeeded in August by Idaho alumnus Don Monson, who had significantly greater success, taking the Vandals to consecutive conference titles in 1981 and 1982, a top ten ranking, and advancement to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.
After coaching at Idaho, Jarvis returned to Oregon and worked in real estate in Bend.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=c0FYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KvkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7093,810998|newspaper=Spokane Daily Chronicle|title=Murphy's Law prevails|last=Van Sickel |first=Charlie|date=January 3, 1980|page=28}}
