Coach Brown was able to accomplish so much in his four years on the Hilltop, including leading us to our first conference title since 1993. He has left his mark on SMU basketball, and we are thankful for what hes done.Brown didnt return messages left on his cellphone by The Associated Press.The Hall of Fame coach had repeatedly said how much he loved what he was accomplishing at SMU. Brown, who turns 76 in September, had indicated late last season that he wanted to keep coaching as long as SMU would have him.Brown told the Dallas Morning News he had been discussing an extension with SMU officials for the past 20 months, but they were unable to agree on terms. The coach didnt get into specifics of what he wanted and what was offered by the school.The coach also expressed regret at the timing of the news, which became public in the aftermath of five police officers being shot to death Thursday night in downtown Dallas, only a few miles from the SMU campus. Seven other officers and two civilians were wounded in the attack, which took place during a protest over this weeks killings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.Associate head coach Tim Jankovich will take over as head coach, as had been expected since he came to SMU with Brown in 2012 after serving five seasons as Illinois State head coach.I have the utmost confidence in Tim based on both his coaching resume as well as my time working with him here on the Hilltop, Hart said. I know he will keep our program among the nations elite, and I look forward to the seasons ahead.SMU was 25-5 last season, which came after the Mustangs won 27 games each of the previous two seasons.The Mustangs won the American Athletic Conference title in 2015. They then lost their NCAA Tournament opener 60-59 to UCLA after a controversial goaltending call that went against SMU with 13 seconds left.Brown was suspended for the first nine games last season for NCAA violations that also prevented the Mustangs from going to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament.The NCAA ruled last September that a former mens basketball administrative assistant completed online course work for a student to meet NCAA initial eligibility standards and be admitted to the university. That was among infractions against the mens basketball and mens golf programs.Guard Keith Frazier, the player in question, averaged 11.9 points in 10 games as a junior last season before leaving SMU and transferring to North Texas. SMU opted not to appeal the one-year postseason ban or Browns nine-game suspension. Jankovich was the acting head coach until Brown returned just before Christmas.The Mustangs finished last season with only seven available scholarship players. They won their first 18 games, staying undefeated longer than any other Division I team, but were 7-5 over their final stretch.Brown is the only coach to win NBA and NCAA titles. He held a record nine NBA jobs, and his only other college head jobs were two seasons at UCLA (1979-81) and five at Kansas (1983-88).The Jayhawks won the 1988 national championship before Brown returned to the NBA as San Antonios coach.

The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session.It seems that age is but a state of mind for Canadian Football League quarterbacks. Two of the best, Anthony Calvillo of the Montreal Alouettes and Henry Burris of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, are 40 and 38 respectively heading into the 2013 season. The 39-year-old Kerry Joseph, who began his career with the defunct Ottawa Renegades, is hanging on as a back-up with the Edmonton Eskimos. But neither Calvillo nor Burris looks to be slowing down. "Anthony is in phenomenal shape for his age," Montreal general manager Jim Popp said. "Hes playing at the highest level, MVP level. "So we dont really look at his age. When the day comes that he says Im retiring, I just cant do any more on the field, then it becomes more of a panic button scenario." There was speculation last winter that Calvillo may pack it in when Marc Trestman left after five years to become head coach of the NFL Chicago Bears, but Calvillo was back in camp under new coach Dan Hawkins. And why not? He completed 333 passes to reach the 5,000-yard mark for the seventh time in his career in 2012, despite playing through an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder that hindered his throwing motion and required off-season surgery. Two seasons ago, the East Los Angeles native broke a handful of passing records set by Damon Allen, who played until he was 44. Calvillo enters his 20th CFL season, his 16th with Montreal, with 5,777 completions for 78,494 yards and 449 touchdowns. If he stays healthy, he should top 10,000 pass attempts, 6,000 completions and 80,000 yards this season. If he doesnt stay upright, Montreal could be in big trouble. His backup in recent years, Adrian McPherson, is gone, and he will have third-stringer Josh Neiswander and rookie Tanner Marsh as contingency plans. "Were always preparing people," said Popp. "The truth is you dont know what you have until you have to play someone else and see how they perform." Burris is also coming off a year that saw him establish career highs in completions (391), attempts (604), yards (5,367) and TDs (43) for the Ticats, who otherwise were a bust at 6-12 despite a league-leading offence. Burris has thrown for over 4,000 yards in eight of the last nine years. Bringing in the experienced Kent Austin as head coach may be what Hamilton needs to get a talented group to succeed on the field and keep Burris at his top level in his 15th CFL campaign. "He had a really good camp, he really did," Austin said. "He came in in great shape, he was stronger than last year from what I understand. "He threw the ball pretty well most of camp. Hes really smart, he takes coaching, he wants to be good and wants to win." Not only did Austin win Grey Cups as a player, hes also excelled with veteran quarterbacks as a coach. He was the Toronto Argonauts offensive co-ordinator in 04 when Allen was a Grey Cup champion and CFL MVP and was the Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach in 07 when Joseph earned the same double achievement.dddddddddddd "Hes brought success to quarterbacks and also brought success to his teams," Burris said. "Hes a great coach and both Damon and Kerry have told me Im going to enjoy working with him." Burris, acquired in a 2012 trade from Calgary, is backed up by the returning Dan LeFevour and by Jeremiah Masoli. Nearly every CFL team can kiss its championship hopes goodbye if its starting quarterback has a serious injury. Except Calgary. The Stampeders didnt miss a beat last season when Drew Tate dislocated a shoulder in the second game of the 2012 season. Veteran Kevin Glenn stepped in and went 10-5, putting up 4,220 passing yards with a career-best 66.7 completion percentage. When Tate was hurt again in the playoffs, Glenn took them to the Grey Cup game. Both are back, along with impressive third-stringer Bo Levi Mitchell. The poster boy for quarterback injuries in Winnipegs Buck Pierce, who has started only 28 of 54 games in the last three seasons. When hes healthy, Pierces battling style produces more wins than losses, like in 2011 when he played 16 games and got the Blue Bombers to the Grey Cup game. But last year he played three, sat out eight with a knee injury, came back to beat Hamilton, then got hurt again. His back-ups from last year, Joey Elliott and Alex Brink, are gone, so Justin Goltz is the new No. 2. Goltz played three games last season. The heat will be on Ricky Ray to lead Toronto to a second Grey Cup after a phenomenal first season in double blue following his move from Edmonton. The 33-year-old threw for 4,069 yards in 14 starts last season, and was more impressive in the post-season as he outduelled Calvillo in the East final and then took his third career Grey Cup. With veteran Jarious Jackson gone, Ray is backed by Trevor Harris and Zack Collaros. In Saskatchewan, 30-year-old Darian Durant returns for an eighth season after a so-so 2012 campaign by his standards. He started 16 games and threw for 3,878 yards and 20 TDs. The Roughriders have a promising back-up in Drew Willy, who started twice and completed 69 of 95 passes for 709 yards and five TDs. In Vancouver, Travis Lulays performances dipped a tad from 2011, when he was named outstanding player of both the regular season and the Grey Cup game. But he remains perhaps the leagues most dangerous double threat to pass or run the ball. His back-ups include Elliott and Thomas DeMarco, because last years much-coveted No. 2, Mike Reilly, is now an Edmonton Eskimo. Reilly was in a lively battle for the starting job in Edmonton when his rival Matt Nichol suffered a season-ending knee injury in the pre-season. Now, after three years as a back-up in B.C., the 28-year-old will get his chance to be a full-time starter. He completed 52 passes for 682 yards and four TDs last season for the Lions. ' ' '
