Who is Tony Jones?

Legitimate question. Wondering if anyone had insights into his personality? coaching style? history? Links are fine.

He's been with Pearl for 10 years so I see his coaching and philosophy being pretty similar but without the loose cannon antics on the sideline.

Only time will tell, but until Bruce returns, the Vols' new theme song should be "Basketball Jones".

yes, because nothing will give you more insight than a website designed to be bland and nothing but positive for it's players and staff. Brilliant again utfantilidie. Thank you so much.

Now then, for the OP, the does anyone have any actual insight on his coaching ability, personality, etc?

He will run the same stuff but is a lot calmer than BP.

Tony was the only assistant in Milwaukee that I liked when I worked there with Bruce and his crew. Though I didn't know him on a personal level, he was easy to interact with, unlike others......i.e. Bruce

Interesting. Bruce seems so friendly on TV. My 9-year-old cousin tried to get him to sign a ball at Bearden last summer. Bruce said he would--seemingly graciously--but then he got busy and when the kid came back he brushed the kid off. I didn't let that color my view of him at all --stuff happens and coaches get busy-- until now.

That's the key word......he's a snake and I said it from day one when TN hired him. I saw it in Milwaukee, so it doesn't surprise me that he continued it in Knoxville.

I dunno who he is, but I now know that he loves his momma and his daddy and that he has a low opinion of late-game timeouts.
