Congrats Coach Jones! Oddly enough I think he was an assistant at Albany before he came to Ohio

Yale before OU and Albany before that. Will be interesting to see if my old neighbor gets any offers after his last three years at Yale - 2014, 2nd in Ivy and CIT runner-up, 2015 - tied for first in Ivy, and of course this year.

I like the guy. He knows how to COach in an extremely tough non scholly situation. Classy and cerebral interviews and approach. 17years I think I heard...is that how long he has been there?

As an aside...what does being runner up in one of those "waste"of time and money tourneys have to do with anything?
