USF Mourns the Loss of Icon K.C. Jones

SAN FRANCISCO -- The University of San Francisco mourns the loss of icon K.C. "Casey" Jones. Where Jones went championships followed. He was one of the guiding forces of the Dons' back-to-back title runs in 1955 and '56. He would go on to win a gold medal as part of the 1956 U.S. Olympic team, and then went on to win eight titles in nine seasons with the Boston Celtics in one of the NBA's most dominant dynasties. Following his playing days, Jones came back to help lead Boston to two more titles in 1984 and '89.
