Adams: Jones was one of best ever
Submitted by timstevens on 04/17/2009 - 08:53
Charlie Adams, the executive director of the N.C. High School Athletic Association, issued a statement about former Kinston High basketball coach Paul Jones, who died on Thursday.
"Paul Jones was one of the finest basketball coaches the state of North
Carolina has ever produced. But more importantly, he was a gentleman, a
wonderful person and a long-time friend.
"I always enjoyed watching him coach because that is what he did-- he
coached. He was not sidetracked by anything. His teams were always very
well-prepared and great fundamentally. But in terms of coaching, he was
certainly the total package and it just didn't get any better than Paul
Jones."
