From a Monday column in the Charlotte Observer , this observation by Ron Green, Jr.:

"East Carolina athletics director Terry Holland is in the market for a basketball coach. Jeff Jones' name comes to mind."

Of course that is natural speculation since Jones worked for Holland at Virginia.

ECU is looking for a new coach after firing Bill Herrion.

But other than this mention, and some mostly negative posts about Jones on ECU boards, there seems to be little connecting him to the job. Interesting, though, there was a thread on that board in which former Holy Cross head coach and current UConn assistant George Blaney was mentioned by many as a good choice for the job.

We will have to keep an eye on that job to see what develops.
