GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota Director of Athletics Brian Faison announced Friday that head men’s basketball coach Brian Jones has signed a contract extension that will take him through the 2016-17 season.
"Coach Jones has a clear blue print for this program and the results are showing," Faison said. "This team has had as much success as any team transitioning to the Division I level in recent years, including three straight CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament berths.
Jones led UND to a 12-8 record in the Big Sky Conference last season, which were the most wins ever by a league newcomer and his squad’s third-place finish in the 11-team league was also the best ever by a first-year member. With a 16-16 regular season record, the team also earned its third straight appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
Jones will have that dynamic scoring duo back along with five more of his top eight scorers for the 2013-14 season that will also see the addition of Texas Tech transfer Jaron Nash to the roster.
UND will play another 20-game Big Sky schedule in 2013-14 and will also play homes games against South Dakota State and North Dakota State. The entire 2013-14 schedule will be released later in July.

Jones receives raise of 86K to 100K. Still lowest in league but at least more competitive.
