Coach Jason Jones begins his second
season with the OBU Lady Tigers. His responsibilities
include recruiting, post play and day to day office
operations. Jones has coached at all levels and had
success everywhere he has been. Previous to coming to
Ouachita, he served as an assistant in the Sheridan (AR)
Public Schools. Jones began his coaching career at the University of Arkansas as an undergraduate. He was on Head Coach John Sutherland’s staff as a student-assistant coach. After spending two years as a student assistant coach, Jones was promoted to the graduate assistant coaching position. While Coach Jones was at Arkansas, they won a Southwest Conference regular season championship, a SWC Tournament Championship and a NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. The Lady Razorbacks also set a school record for wins in a season by finishing 28-3, in 1991. Jones left U of A in 1993 to accept an assistant position at Henderson State University. While serving at HSU, the Lady Reddies won their first NCAA Division II Gulf South Conference Championship. After spending one season at Henderson State, Jones was named Interim Head Coach at Hendrix College, a NCAA Division III School in Conway, AR. Shortly after his arrival in the Fall of 1994, Jones realized he would be playing the season with only eight players and none over 5’9”. However, Jones’ team finished the season 16-9 (10-4) and also handed out a couple of losses to NCAA Div. II schools. Coach Jones was the youngest Head Coach in the NCAA at only 24. Jones, 30, is married to Rebecca (Roe) Jones. Rebecca is a 1996 graduate of Ouachita and now serves as the Director of Admissions Counseling at OBU. |
