About Mike Jones

Head coach Mike Jones has completed eight seasons at the helm of the Radford men’s basketball program after taking the position on June 14, 2011. He and his teams have won 138 games at Radford, making him the third-winningest coach in program history. Seventy-two of those wins have come against Big South competition.

The 2018-19 season was full of milestones for Jones and the Highlanders. The team went 22-11 and 12-4 in conference play, earning a share of the Big South regular season title for the first time since 2008-09. Radford went on the road and knocked off Notre Dame and No. 17 Texas, the first ranked first in Radford history. Radford began its conference slate a perfect 7-0 to become one of the final 15 teams in the nation still undefeated.

About Mike McGuire

Mike McGuire has become a household name in the New River Valley thanks to his success on the court, his involvement in the community and his reputation as a man of great character. His time at Radford has been full of joyous moments and unforgettable seasons.

With an overall record of 90-68 (.570) at Radford, McGuire owns the third-best winning percentage of any coach in program history. He has gone 61-35 (.642) in Big South play and has led the Highlanders to one Big South regular season championship.

Now entering his sixth season at the helm of the Radford women’s basketball program after taking the position on April 24, 2013, he is widely recognized as one of the up-and-coming head coaches in the nation. McGuire quickly laid a solid foundation when he arrived at Radford and has successfully seen his vision come to fruition. Under his direction, 11 Highlanders have been named All-Big South and two have earned VaSID All-State honors.
