Tim Jankovich is an American college basketball coach and the current head basketball coach at Illinois State University. During his first year (2007–08) at Illinois State Jankovich lead the Redbirds to a 13–5 second place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference — even though pre-season polls voted the team to be a fifth place finisher.[1] He was an assistant basketball coach at Kansas for four years, and served under current Kansas head coach Bill Self at Kansas and Illinois.
He has also served as an assistant coach at Kansas State, Colorado State, Oklahoma State, Texas and Vanderbilt. He played college basketball at Washington State and Kansas State.
While at Colorado State, his teams posted three consecutive winning seasons en route to the best period of college basketball in school history. He also served for four years as the head basketball coach at North Texas. The team had gone 5-22 the previous season, but Jankovich engineered the second largest turnaround in the nation that year.
At Kansas State, Jankovich remains one of the winningest players in school history playing under coach Jack Hartman. He was a four-year starter at point guard, but played his freshman season at Washington State. A three-time academic All-American and honorable mention All-Big Eight player, Jankovich finished his career at Kansas State in the school's top-10 in nine categories, including first in season free-throw percentage (.917) and eighth in career field-goal percentage (.510). In addition, he holds the Big Eight Tournament record for single-game assists (14).
He and his wife, Cindy, have a son, Michael. The family resides in Bloomington, Illinois.
