Trevecca inducted Scott Jones into the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame during ceremonies at Homecoming on November 8, 2008-Scott Jones, Trevecca's most successful volleyball coach, died unexpectedly in 2008.

From the time Jones was named TNU's 14th head volleyball coach in 1997, he and his coaching staff worked tirelessly to generate enthusiasm and passion for the program

Jones teams produced seven 20-win seasons, three of those were 30-win seasons. His teams advanced to the NAIA Region-XI tournament on six occasions.

Prior to Jones' taking the helm, the program hadn't produced a winning season since 1989 and had had only four winning seasons in 23 years, and only one of those was a 20-win season. Jones averaged more than 20 wins a season. No coach in the program's history had held the position more than four years since Debbie Lore started the program in 1974.

In his first season (1997) Trevecca won only five games and Jones hit the recruiting trail. He was immediately rewarded by his first full recruiting class. In 1998 Coach Jones created a tradition of winning with the school's best year of intercollegiate volleyball with a school record of 32-13 and a 7-5 record in TranSouth play; the Jones-led team advanced to the NAIA Region -XI Tournament for the first time in school history. Coach Jones was honored with the TranSouth Coach of the Year Award. The 32 wins were 10 more than any previous team had recorded in one season.

In 2002 the team posted a 31-15 overall record and 7-5 TranSouth record. Katie Carter became the program's first Honorable Mention All-American, and the following year Crissie Cunha became the second.

In 2003 the team posted a school-record 34 wins, only 8 losses, and finished second in the conference and advanced to the NAIA Region- XI Tournament for the fourth consecutive season. The team also posted a school-record conference mark of 11-3. The team finished second in the conference.

His players won numerous awards for their play on the court. He coached Trevecca's first player to be named All-Region XI and the school's first two players to reach All-American status. He mentored 14 All-Region players, 28 All-Conference honorees, five Tournament MVP's, 38 All-Tournament players, five NAIA Scholar-Athletes, 45 TranSouth Scholar-Athletes, and ten Region Players of the Week.

In all Jones generated an overall record of 229-174, and his team fashioned a TranSouth Conference record of 73-65. His teams placed in the region's top 10 on nine occasions and were ranked in the NAIA Top 30 on two occasions. Jones led the Trevecca program to six Region-XI tournaments, ten tournament championships, eight wins over NCAA D-I opponents, and ten wins over NCAA D-II opponents.

He helped shape not only players with great athletic ability but also players who earned academic awards. He was extremely pleased that his 2006-07 team was awarded its first-ever AVCA Team Academic Award, one of only 16 NAIA schools to do so. The 2007-2008 team will be honored by the NAIA for its academic excellence later this summer.

Jones often had his teams involved in community projects. including the annual Angel Tree program, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Compassion International.

Jones reached the 100-win total in the regular season finale on November 6, 2001, against Cumberland. He won his 200th match at Mid-Continent University on October 24, 2006.

His love for volleyball sent Jones around the world, playing in events like the National Iron Man Tournament and the U.S. National Open Championships. Jones also participated in international competition playing against top teams of the former Soviet Union in 1987. While there, he received training from the Soviet Olympic coaches.
