  • 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.

(Nov. 2, 2020) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the 20 watch list candidates for the 2021 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Named after Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, the annual honor now in its eighteenth year recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. “Since 2004, the Hall of Fame has had the honor of bestowing the Bob Cousy Award on the best point guards in the collegiate game,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “The list is comprised of many outstanding student-athletes and we know the fans are very excited to see them take the floor. Starting Five Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will allow fans to support their favorite players throughout the season and eventually play a part in helping us to select our winner. We greatly appreciate the support of Dell Technologies, the fans, our selection committee and the namesake of the award, Mr. Bob Cousy.” Bob Cousy played for Holy Cross from 1946-1950 winning an NCAA Championship in 1947. He was named a Consensus First-Team All-American in 1950. His success continued at the professional level as a six-time NBA Champion (1957, 1959-1963), NBA Most Valuable Player (1957) and 13-time NBA All-Star (1951-63).
