Regarding the new stress, Jones said, It s a good kind of stress. The stress of working two jobs would be too much for many, but Jones welcomes it with open arms. Paul Allen Duke, the head women s basketball coach said, Mike cares about people but not with the perspective of a coach, and that s what I think is his biggest asset. One other asset to Jones is that he has been at MC for over 10 years and knows a lot of people personally. Those relationships make the transition easier for Jones and his staff.
Students feel the same way.
Former basketball player Omar Carter said, I feel that MC made a good decision because of his time spent here and his experience.
