Tim Jankovich (born June 4, 1959) is an American college basketball coach and the associate head coach at Southern Methodist University. During his first year (2007–08) at Illinois State, Jankovich led 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.[2] 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.
Playing career
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 Dallas, Texas.
On April 26, 2012, the Peoria Journal Star released the following statement regarding Jankovich:
"ESPN.com has reported that Illinois State men's basketball coach Tim Jankovich has accepted a coach-in-waiting position under Southern Methodist coach Larry Brown.
The deal is expected to be in the $700,000 range a year, a source told ESPN's Andy Katz.
There is no time limit on when Jankovich would take over for Brown.
Jankovich had been mulling over an offer to be Brown's coach-in-waiting, or at the very least his top assistant coach, since Brown took the job last week.
Jankovich gave himself a self-imposed deadline of Thursday afternoon to make a decision.
According to the website, Brown said Wednesday night that he was confident Jankovich -- who is also a former head coach at North Texas -- would take the job"..."[3]
On April 26, SMU announced Jankovich as its Associate Head Coach and coach-in-waiting.[4]
