BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — California has promoted Wyking Jones to head basketball coach in place of the departed Cuonzo Martin.
Jones was an assistant under Martin the past two seasons and served as interim coach after Martin left to take the job at Missouri last week. Jones has also been an assistant at Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, New Mexico and Louisville before getting his first chance as a head coach with the Golden Bears.
