Donald Isaac "Donnie" Jones, Sr. (born July 7, 1968) is an American college basketball coach and former college basketball player. Jones served as the head coach of the UCF Knights men's basketball team from 2010 to 2016.
After spending three years as head coach at Marshall, amassing a 55–41 record, Jones was hired by UCF after the university decided not to retain Kirk Speraw for the 2010–11 season. Before Marshall, Jones was an assistant with the Florida Gators for 11 seasons, and was hired by Marshall after he helped Billy Donovan coach the Gators to consecutive national championships in 2006 and 2007. Afterwards, Jones joined the Knights in 2010, serving as their third head coach since entering into Division I play. On March 10, 2016, Jones was fired after the team's second consecutive first round loss in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
