KOKOMO – What was it like to play basketball against Roosevelt Jones?

“if you have to play against Roosevelt Jones all day,” Brad Stevens once said, “that’s a hard day.”

Now, Jones is making it hard on IU Kokomo opponents. He is associate head coach for the Cougars, who will play Butler in an exhibition game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
