  • Tim Jankovich – SMU Coaching U Live April 2017 (Dallas, Texas)
    Tim Jankovich – SMU Coaching U Live April 2017 (Dallas, Texas) -When I was young I thought it was all about X’s & O’s and would laugh when I heard older coaches talk about culture. -Will study teams in the offseason to try and get ideas. Will watch clinic videos to try to spark ideas. -Game is so infinite. It’s one of the most exciting things about basketball to me. -We are all products of what we’ve been able to experience. I’ve had the fortune to work for a collection of 9 fantastic coaches. It’s not about copying a coach. It’s thinking about what makes him great. Lon Kruger (current Oklahoma head coach; Jankovich worked for him at UT-Pan American): • Not afraid to be simple offensively. Sometimes as coaches we feel like we have to manufacture every basket. • Coach was so competitive and so smart • My biggest takeaway was actually that there was more than one way to skin a cat. I had played for an old school guy in Jack Hartman and I thought that was the way to do it. Jack Hartman (former Kansas State head coach where Jankovich played and worked for him): • Base of knowledge Bob Weltich (former Texas head coach where Jankovich worked for him) • “Motion Offense” acumen (Weltich coached under Bob Knight at Army). Motion is truly glorious – five guys running around trying not get in the other guys’ way while still being purposeful. Boyd Grant (former Colorado State head coach where Jankovich worked for him) • Coach Grant won with less unlike anyone I’ve ever seen.
