His brother, Jack , also is an alumnus. In addition, the current football facility, A. H. Jones Stadium, is named for Tom's great uncle. Construction is scheduled to be completed in August. The soccer stadium at the University of Connecticut has been renamed the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in honor of Morrone, who retired as head coach of men's soccer at Connecticut after the 1996 season. A dedication of the stadium is planned for the 1997 soccer season.
Construction begins following the removal of the existing softball field.
A new soccer field will replace the softball field and a new softball field will be constructed nearby. The new fields are part of a long-range plan at the college that began with construction of the Wetterau Center for Field Sports last November. The track and field complex at Louisiana Tech University has been renamed the Jim Mize Track and Field Complex. He retired from the staff in 1977. As track and field coach, Mize guided the Bulldogs to three league championships.
