Donnie Jones (born July 7, 1966 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia) is an American college basketball coach and former college basketball player. Jones is currently the head coach of the UCF Knights men's basketball team that represents the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida.[1]
After spending three years as head coach at Marshall, amassing a 55–41 record,[2] Jones was hired by UCF after the university decided not to retain Kirk Speraw for the 2010–11 season.[3] Before Marshall, Jones was an assistant with the Florida Gators for 11 seasons, and was hired by Marshall after he helped Billy Donovan coach the Gators to consecutive national championships in 2006 and 2007.[3] Jones is the Knights third head coach since entering into Division I play.
