Old Dominion men's basketball coach Jeff Jones had a heart attack on Wednesday night and is expected to make a full recovery, the school announced on Thursday.

The school said that Jones, 63, was admitted to a hospital in Honolulu, where Old Dominion was facing TCU on Thursday in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic.

"He is resting comfortably and expecting a full recovery," ODU said in a statement, adding that Jones will be held for observation for the next 48-72 hours.

Assistant coach Kieran Donohue will be ODU's interim head coach for the remainder of the tournament, the school said.
