(Carbondale–jc) –The Southern Illinois Athletics Department will hold a Celebration of Life service for legendary coach Richard "Itch" Jones on Saturday, October 25, , at 11 a.m. at Itchy Jones Stadium. Jones passed away on February 17th at the age of 87 and left behind a legacy that was unmatched in the collegiate baseball world. He retired from coaching in 2005 as one of the most decorated coaches in NCAA history, ranking 13th on the NCAA Division I wins list and eighth among active coaches at the end of that campaign. Jones' finest season at Illinois was in 1998 when the Illini won their first regular season Big Ten Championship in 35 years. He also led Illinois to the Big Ten regular-season title in his final season in 2005 and to a Big Ten Tournament championship in 2000.
