John Henry Jones, Jr. (born March 30, 1961) is an American college basketball coach who is currently the associate head coach at Nevada. He was formerly the men's basketball head coach at North Texas and at his alma mater LSU.
During Jones' stint at North Texas, he coached the Mean Green to five-straight 20-win seasons from 2007–11, and two Sun Belt Tournament championships and NCAA Tournament bids. Under Jones, North Texas was just the third program to advance to three consecutive Sun Belt Tournament championship games.
Jones was named interim head coach at the University of Memphis just prior to the 1999–2000 season, replacing Tic Price. He coached the team to a 15–16 record.
Jones played in the 1981 Final Four as a freshman at LSU, and later served 12 seasons as an assistant coach at LSU under Dale Brown where the pair returned to the 1986 Final Four.
