It was a big week for the Old Dominion Monarchs basketball program. Earlier this week, 63-year-old head coach Jeff Jones announced his retirement after 11 seasons as head coach.
On Thursday, we learned of his replacement. Old Dominion will hire Maryland assistant coach Mike Jones as its next head coach.
Who is Mike Jones?
Before coming to Maryland before this season, Jones spent the past two seasons at Virginia Tech as Mike Young’s top assistant. Young had hired Jones away from DeMatha Catholic, one of the nation’s most successful high school programs, after 19 seasons there.
