Siouxphan27 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Sometimes a question of firing, can be answered by asking who else would hire said individual. Brian Jones is the Christian Ponder of Division 1 basketball coaches. I can't think of any reason another Division 1 school would call him in for an interview. Can you?

Good analogy - and the answer is "no"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Here's a factoid that would probably surprise a lot of people--in terms of tenure, Jones was 88th out of 351 division I men's basketball coaches as of June of 2013: http://d1scourse.typepad.com/blog/2013/06/a-look-at-current-division-i-basketball-coaching-tenures-from-1-to-351.html And of course, some departures have occurred since then, including Boots and Huus, meaning he's moved up a few more spots. Not that this has any bearing on anything, other than to prove that college basketball coaches don't typically stay in one place for very long. In that regard, I guess Jones has already beaten the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
