Ten years after being fired as UVA’s men’s basketball coach, Jeff Jones is celebrated in a John Feinstein column in today’s Washington Post. On December 22, Jones’ current team—American University—traveled the short distance from their home in Northwest Washington, D.C. to Maryland’s Comcast Center where they beat the Gary Williams coached Terrapins by the score of 67-59. "Realistically, Jones’s last chance to take a team into Maryland and win went by the wayside the day he left Virginia," writes Feinstein. "But there he was, being congratulated by Williams after his kids played with all sorts of poise down the stretch."
