HONOLULU – University of Hawaii men’s basketball coach Eran Ganot announced that Rob Jones has joined the UH staff as an assistant coach. Jones, who Ganot coached as a player at Saint Mary’s College, comes to Manoa after stints with his alma mater and most recently at UC Riverside. 

Jones will assist with all aspects of the program including practice and game planning.  He’ll play a big role in recruiting, opponent scouting and will concentrate on the team phases of rebounding and defense.  Additionally, Jones will work on developing the Rainbow Warrior wing and post players.

Last season as an assistant coach with Big West rival UC Riverside, he helped lead the Highlanders to a 16-12 mark. Prior to UCR he was on the Saint Mary’s staff for three seasons, first as a graduate assistant and then as the Director of Player Development.
