Old Dominion University has recently appointed Mike Jones as the 14th head coach in its program’s history. This decision marks the second time that an alumnus has been hired to coach the men’s basketball team. His appointment was more than just a strategic move for the university; it was a reunion of legacy and ambition.

Jones, an Old Dominion alumnus, played for the Monarchs from 1991-1995 and was part of two tournament championship teams.
