Old Dominion men's basketball coach Jeff Jones suffered a heart attack Wednesday night during the team's trip to Hawaii, the school announced on Thursday.
The Monarchs are in Oahu for the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic, which takes place this weekend. Jones, 63, was admitted to a hospital in Honolulu following the heart attack.
"He is resting comfortably and expecting a full recovery," Old Dominion said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports, adding Jones will be held at the hospital for observation for the next 48 to 72 hours and will not be available for the Diamond Head Classic.
In the meantime, assistant coach Kieran Donohue will serve as the team's head coach for the entire tournament.
The Monarchs played TCU in their first matchup of the weekend on Thursday, falling to the Horned Frogs 111-87. Old Dominion will face Temple on Friday. The final game of the tournament will be played on Sunday.
Jones is in his 11th season as head coach for Old Dominion, taking the Monarchs to the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Old Dominion entered the Hawaii tournament with a 3-6 record.
