Larry Brown is leaving SMU after turning down a contract extension, ending a four-year run during which the Mustangs made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993 and then were banned from postseason play last season.SMU athletic director Rick Hart said Friday that Brown, who was signed through next season, had been offered a new deal through 2020.This morning, however, I was notified by his agent that he would be stepping down, Hart said. 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.

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.
