Jon Jaques is entering his first season as the Mens’ Basketball Head Coach at Cornell University. Jacques has spent more than a decade as an assistant coach in the Ivy League, including the last 12 at Cornell. He has assisted in the development of 12 Big Red All-Ivy selections, including five first-teamers, and two CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

Prior to Cornell Jaques was part of Kyle Smith's 2012-13 staff at Columbia team. Jon began his coaching career at Stevens Institute of Technology under head coach Bobby Hurley in 2011.

Jaques was a four-year member of the Cornell basketball team and a senior captain, emerging as a starter in his final season and developing into one of the nation's most improved players after playing a total of 108 minutes and scoring 33 points through his first three years. Jaques and his teammates won an Ivy League record 29 games and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16, defeating nationally ranked opponents Temple and Wisconsin before falling to overall No. 1 seed Kentucky in the regional semifinals. In his four seasons on the team, Cornell went 88-33, including 47-9 in Ivy League play, and won three outright Ivy League titles.
