NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion University men’s basketball coach Jeff Jones announced Wednesday that he has had a recurrence of prostate cancer. Jones was initially diagnosed and treated for the disease in 2015.
Jones learned of the relapse in the summer of 2017 and began treatment this summer to stall its progression. He said that neither the cancer nor his treatment would affect his job performance.
“There’s no way I’m going to allow it to change my approach, my commitment. It sure won’t change my desire to win,” Jones said in a statement.
Jones informed his players last week and said his message to them was simple.
