Game 24 ♦ Radford at Liberty • Feb. 5, 2013
Mike
Jones
On June 14, 2011, Radford University officials announced the
hiring of former VCU assistant coach Mike Jones as the Highlanders’ seventh head men’s basketball coach.
Jones’ father, Jimmy, was a star guard in the ABA from 1967-74.
In 1974, Jimmy Jones signed with the Washington Bullets in the
NBA, where he remained until 1977.
Jones led RU to a 6-26 record in his first season at the helm
in which the top two scorers and leading rebounder were true
freshmen. The Highlanders lost 16 games by 10 points or fewer,
and the rebuilding effort continues in 2012-13 under Jones’
guidance.
The Silver Spring, Md. native stayed close to home and attended Howard University, where he played basketball and majored
in zoology. Jones, a four-year standout for the Bison, forged a
connection with fellow Howard alum Felton (’85), who he calls
the biggest influence on his coaching career.
Jones, 46, spent the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons at VCU,
which included a magical run to the 2011 Final Four with wins
over USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas.
While on Shaka Smart’s staff, the Rams posted 55 wins over
the past two seasons, the highest total over any two-year span
in program history.
Once Jones graduated in 1990, he began his coaching career
as a high school coach at Sidwell Friends School in D.C.
Along with playing a major role in the Rams’ success on the
court, Jones helped land one of the top mid-major recruiting
classes in the country a year ago.
“We are extremely excited to have Mike, his wife and two sons
join the Radford University family,” commented Director of
Athletics Robert Lineburg. “During the course of his career, Mike
has demonstrated the necessary qualities and character to lead
our student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and on
the basketball court. His reputation as a proven mentor, coach
and recruiter makes him the perfect fit for Radford University.”
Prior to his second coaching stop in Virginia, Jones served
a six-year stint on Dennis Felton’s bench at the University of
Georgia from 2003-09. In 2008, Georgia advanced to the NCAA
Tournament when the sixth-seeded Bulldogs won four games in
three days to complete the most improbable SEC Championship
run in conference history.
Although the challenges at Georgia were many, Jones managed
to make a name for himself as Rivals.com selected him as one
of the nation’s Top-25 recruiters in 2005.
In addition to Georgia, Jones had previously worked under John
Beilein at Richmond from 2000-02 and during the early stages
of Beilein’s rebuilding project at West Virginia in 2002-03.
In 1994, Jones took his first collegiate job – at his alma mater.
In addition, he also married his college sweetheart, Sharon, that
year. Jones and his wife have two sons; Nate (15) and Miles
(11).
He later moved on to Furman, where he stayed from 19972000. He joined Beilein’s staff at Richmond in 2000 and helped
the Spiders to a pair of 20-win seasons and three straight NIT
berths.
