Media Information

onas Hayes, 2004 UGA graduate and the Bulldogs’ Basketball Operations Coordinator for the 2013 season, was promoted to Assistant Coach in June of 2013. Hayes joined the Georgia staff in May of 2012. As Operations Coordinator last season, he directed a number of tasks, including the players’ dayto-day schedules and their academic performance, as well as assisting with the program’s on-campus recruiting efforts, summer camps and community outreach. “Jonas has done a terrific job for us and he has earned the opportunity to move up,” Fox said. “His love of Georgia, connections in this region, and magnetic personality are great assets in recruiting for our program.” The Atlanta native returned to Georgia after five seasons as an assistant coach at Belmont Abbey in Belmont, N.C. Previously, he had also served brief stints as an assistant coach at South Carolina State, Morehouse College and his alma mater, Douglass High School in Atlanta. Hayes earned three letters as a prominent player on three successful Georgia teams between 2002-04. He started 41 of 88 games for the Bulldogs, scoring 759 points (8.6 avg.) and pulling down 435 rebounds (4.9 avg.). His career scoring high of 25 points came at a most opportune time, when the 2004 Bulldogs upended 3rd-ranked Georgia Tech 83-80 in double overtime. Among his other career highlights included his first collegiate 3-pointer, a 30-foot bank shot at the buzzer that won a game for the Bulldogs at Colorado on Dec. 3, 2002.
