Jankovich had a 125-64 record at SMU with his sole NCAA Tournament appearance coming in his first full season as head coach. Prior to taking over the lead role in 2016, he served as an assistant under former head coach Larry Brown for four years.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to have coached at SMU for the past 10 years,” Jankovich said. “Basketball has been at the center of my life since the 8th grade … I have loved and cherished every minute of it.”
In what seemed to be a tournament-or-bust season for the Mustangs, SMU finished with a 24-9 record but just short of March Madness while suffering a second round defeat in the NIT to Washington State on Sunday to end their season.
