Well he's made me go to more games this season than I have in years. I love the way the guys play for him and the high energy. I hope they keep running and winning!

This actually begs you to question Joe did Jones wind up on Joyners staff in the first place since their philosophies are so vastly different.

I think Coach Jones has a diverse background, which includes a focus on defense. Aside from relationship, that's where there was a match. I think the biggest takeaway from Coach Jones is that he's grown over the past 4 years. And growth allows you to build on your foundation. Pulling Kam out of the offense when they ran a box-and-one on him in the 2nd half was a growth adjustment. We essentially played 4 on 4 & got the lead up to 15 again. The disadvantage we had was not having Tyler Maye & Fred not handling the physicality of Norfolk well. Otherwise we win the game by at least 15. In short... Will Jones has grown into what he is now. And at age 39, he's got quite a bit of growing left to do.

Agreed, Jones will be somebody’s coach next year. I hope he is our coach. Not only is he likable, modern, but from the looks of it this guy can teach, coach and motivate! To throw alley hoops is one thing but to teach spacing, angles and plays to pull it off is another thing. These guys run the lanes hard and play aggressive defense. No one on this site has criticized his strategy or in game adjustments.

i like how coach jones takes the initiative via social media to call on our students and alums to come to our home games. i think that has made a major difference...

When you're trying to get a PERMANENT job, you do everything possible to get it......including being a hypeman for your own games. I ain't mad at Jones one bit. Do what ya gotta do to get that J-O-B!!!

Do what ya gotta do to get that J-O-B!!! You're absolutely right but most HBCU coaches are oldschool, even the younger ones. Coach Jones is not only using social media but he's putting out quality production video. This helps get his message out to Alumni, and fans, as well as high school students and coaches. Definitely will help recruiting.
