DALLAS -- The wait is over for Tim Jankovich to be SMUs head coach.SMU formally named Jankovich as head coach Monday, three days after Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown abruptly resigned.Im still sad and a little bit emotional about it, but at the same time, incredibly excited about the opportunity here for me and my staff, Jankovich said Monday night. That part is awfully exciting, and (Im) feeling all those emotions that you expect.Jankovich had been associate coach and head-coach-in-waiting for the Mustangs since he came to SMU with Brown in 2012. Jankovich was head coach at Illinois State the five seasons before that, and previously head coach at North Texas.At the same time, the dynamics are different because I just worked alongside a guy for four years that throughout my coaching career I put at the very top of coaches of our time, he said. Ive formed a very good relationship with him.Browns initial five-year deal went through next season, but he resigned Friday after turning down an offer from SMU to extend his contract through 2020.The Mustangs made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993 under Brown, and won at least 25 games each of the past three seasons. They were 25-5 last season, but banned from postseason play because of NCAA sanctions.While the 75-year-old Brown had made occasional comments that he might leave, Jankovich said he honestly didnt think it would happen so soon.It was a little surprise to me. I dont want to say a great shock, Jankovich said. I guess when it was final, it was surprising to me.The 57-year-old Jankovich was 104-64 at Illinois State from 2007-12 after serving as an assistant coach for Bill Self, at Illinois (2002-03) and Kansas (2003-07). He was 53-57 as head coach at North Texas from 1993-97, and has also been an assistant at Vanderbilt, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas and Kansas State.Were thankful for Coach Browns efforts here at SMU to rebuild our mens basketball program and bring the magic back to Moody, SMU President R. Gerald Turner said. That said, I believe Coach Jankovich can continue to build upon that success and keep us on that upward trajectory. His experience at SMU has allowed him to build trust and relationships with our student-athletes as well as our campus and local communities, which will give him a head start as he takes over our program.While Nic Moore, Markus Kennedy and Jordan Tolbert were seniors last season, eight players are returning. There are also three incoming freshmen and a transfer from Arkansas who will have to sit out this season.When Brown was suspended for the first nine games last season because of NCAA sanctions, Jankovich filled in as head coach and the Mustangs won all of those games. Jankovich believes that stretch will help now, especially with the current players who had a chance to play with him in control for just more than a month.Not that Im glad that that happened, but it is a little bit of a blessing because I think it just makes in their mind, theres a lot less doubt of whats to come, Jankovich said. So I think that actually helps the transition, gives them a much better idea.Jankovich has also told the players that he knows they care about Brown, just like he does, and that its not something that you get over in five minutes. ... So were talking about that. I dont want to ignore that like you just flipped a page and nothing happened.

Derbyshire 188 for 3 (Madsen 59*, Hughes 43*) beat Worcestershire 185 for 7 (Cox 59*, Hughes 3-23) by seven wicketsScorecardDerbyshire Falcons ended a run of three successive defeats and dealt a further blow to Worcestershire Rapids hopes of reaching the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals with a seven-wicket success at New Road.The Rapids recovered from a dismal start to set a challenging target of 186 thanks to some spectacular late big hitting by keeper Ben Cox and Matt Henry.The Falcons kept up with the necessary run-rate and when the heavens opened at the end of the 15th over they had reached 130 for 3 having inched ahead of the DL total of 128.The weather relented and the players returned but it made no difference to the outcome as Chesney Hughes and Wayne Madsen pressed the accelerator to see the Falcons home with seven balls to spare.Madsen ended on 59 and Hughes 43 as the pair added an unbroken 97 in nine overs. It means the Rapids, the early pace-setters in the North Group, have now lost three of their last four games with the other being a no-result.Fit-again skipper Wes Durston set the tone for the Falcons reply with 32 from 19 deliveries in an opening stand of 48 in five overs with Hamish Rutherford. He eventually heaved across the line and was bowled by Henry.Kyle Abbott conceded 28 runs in his first two overs on his home debut but then held onto a fine low catch at long off to dismiss Hamish Rutherford (37) in Joe Leachs first over.Leach, the leading wicket-taker in the T20 Blast this summer, collected his 18th wicket of the campaign when Neil Broom (6) was caught on the cover boundary. But Hughes struck the Rapids vice-captain for two sixes to keep the visitors in contention before the rain break.On their return Madsen took over the mantle of chief aggressor and reached his half century off 31 balls with three sixes and four fours.Ben Cox had celebrated signingg a new four year contract with Worcestershire earlier this week by scoring a competition best 63 not out as he and Henry rescued the Rapids and enabled them to post a competitive total.ddddddddddddThe Worcestershire wicket-keeper smashed two sixes and seven fours in his 29 ball knock and Henry was equally effective in making an unbeaten 35 from just 15 deliveries. The eighth wicket pair bludgeoned 62 off four overs and 41 from the last two as Worcestershire closed on 185 for 7.Worcestershire, who had not arrived back from yesterdays T20 Blast clash at Durham until 3.30am, had been put into bat and lost four wickets inside the first four overs to Jimmy Neesham and Andy Carter.Neesham had home skipper Daryl Mitchell (0) caught behind and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (24) was undone by a shorter ball from the New Zealander and helped it around the corner to leg slip.Carter struck twice in his first over as Alexei Kervezee (1) fended a through ball to the keeper and Joe Clarke (7) top edged a catch to third man.Former Derbyshire player Ross Whiteley (18) hit one typically massive six off Neesham but then holed out to long off in Alex Hughes first over and the same player accounted for Brett DOliveira (17) who went for a ramp shot and perished at short fine leg.Leach (13) helped Cox add 44 before he heaved across the line and gave Alex Hughes a third wicket and the Falcons bowler finished with T20 Best figures of 3-23.The game was played under the banner of #YELL4FELL and Cricket Versus Cancer after the battle of Worcestershire batsman Tom Fell and first team scorer Dawn Pugh against the disease.The Worcestershire players wore a one-off yellow kit in support of their colleagues which was auctioned off after the game to supporters for various cancer charities.
