"To put Jones' success in perspective, you have to understand that this is a program that won a total of 20 games in the four seasons prior to his hiring. The Mean Green have gone 172-132 in his 10-year tenure, winning at least 20 games in each of the past five seasons."

-Went 22-11 this year at UNT, and were a last second shot away from going to another NCAA Tournament.
-Now he has brought that level of success to North Texas, guiding the Mean Green to a school record 24 wins in 2009-10, including the program’s second Sun Belt Conference title and NCAA Tournament trip in the last four seasons.
-Under Jones’ tutaledge, North Texas had a school-record, and league-high four players named to Sun Belt All-Conference teams in 2010.
-A statement to Jones’ up-tempo mentality, North Texas led the nation in free throws made per game in 2009 (20.3 per game) and was second in 2010 (20.0 per game).
-In 2006-07, NT ranked 20th in the country with a +6.1 rebounding margin and 51st with 4.4 blocks per game. For the first time in school history, North Texas had a trio of players with at least 30 blocks in 06-07.
-Jones has even defeated five Final Four coaches – Lou Henson, Nolan Richardson, John Brady, Billy Tubbs and Tom Crean – in his 10 years as a head coach.
-In his debut at the helm, the 41-year-old Jones and his staff guided the Mean Green to a 15-14 overall record - the program’s first winning season since 1995-96
"The highest-rated recruiting class of Jones' tenure is highlighted by 6-foot-6 swingman Jordan Williams, who has averaged 29.7 points for Dallas Kimball this season and is preparing to play in the Class 4A state tournament. And Williams won't even be the most renowned UNT newcomer. Former Dallas Pinkston forward Tony Mitchell, a top-25 national recruit ruled ineligible at Missouri, is enrolled at UNT and on the path to be cleared to play for the Mean Green in December."
