Simpson College has announced the hiring of Kyle Jones as the new head men’s basketball coach after a nationwide search. Jones has spent the last three years as the top assistant for the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and was a player and coach previously at Carroll University.

At Oshkosh, the Titans were 57-26 during Jones’ three years as an assistant, winning two regular season conference championships as well as one tournament championship. The program made two NCAA Division III Tournament appearances, advancing as far as the Elite Eight in 2023. Jones helped coach two first team All-Americans, two conference MVPs, and seven all-conference selections.

Simpson Athletic Director Marty Bell said in a statement:

“With a deep understanding of our region and proven track record as a coach and player in Division III, Coach Jones brings a wealth of experience to our program. I would like to thank President Byers, the Search Advisory Team, the Simpson community, and everyone involved in the search process for their support and contributions. We are excited to welcome Coach Jones and his wife, Lori, to the Simpson Athletic Department and the ONESimpson Family.”

Simpson Athletics will host a welcome reception at a date TBD to introduce Coach Jones to the campus and community.
