Bojan Jankovic spent two seasons as an assistant coach for the Rebels from 2022-24.

Under his tutleledge, Jankovic guided the Rebel bigs to shatter the program single-season block record with a total of 190 rejections in 2023-24. Jankovic tutored Madison Scott to become one of the strongest defenders in the SEC, with the forward earning 2x SEC All-Defensive team accolades as well as Second Team All-SEC in 2023 and First Team All-SEC in 2024.
 
Jankovic came to Oxford after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, and boasts over 25 years of coaching experience. With the Lady Techsters, Jankovic tutored the LA Tech post players, and was instrumental in the squad’s 2022 WNIT bid.
 
In 2021-22, the Lady Techsters utilized a late season push to win the Conference USA West Division championship to earn a berth in the conference tournament finals en route to a 21-12 record.
 
Under his guidance, Jankovic guided Anna Larr Roberson into a Second-Team Conference USA selection in 2021-22 as she was also selected to the Conference USA All-Tournament team. Roberson posted nine double-doubles, as well as registering the fifth-highest scoring game in LA Tech history with 44 points against Rice.
 
Prior to his time in Ruston, Jankovic spent four years at Wyoming developing international talent, including two-time Mountain West Sixth Player of the Year Marta Gomez from Spain. The Cowgirls reached the WNIT three times, including an appearance in the WNIT Elite Eight in 2019. Jankovic was key in cultivating talent from across the globe, as ten of the 16 players on the Cowgirls roster were international in his final season in Laramie.
 
His success in recruiting internationally is due to his ties at the highest levels of international basketball, as Jankovic served as an assistant coach on the Serbian senior national team from 2013 through 2017. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Jankovic and Serbia shocked fans with an upset of Australia 73-71 in the quarterfinals before eventually falling to Spain in the semifinals. Serbia bounced back with a 70-63 win over France to secure a bronze medal.
 
Jankovic also spent five seasons at Oral Roberts, where he helped the Golden Eagles to the Southland Conference Championship in 2013. His work with Vicky McIntyre in 2015 lifted her to lead the nation in locks and rebounds per game, where she was later drafted 20th by the Seattle Storm to become the first player in ORU history to be selected in the WNBA draft. 
 
Jankovic held a five-year stint at Centenary College for four seasons, where he was an assistant for three years before taking over the head coaching duties for the 2009-10 season. He assisted at the University of the Ozarks for one year, helping the men’s team reach the most conference wins in school history.
 
Jankovic began his playing career with Radnicki, also playing at Belgrade Basketball club before coming to the United States. He spent his collegiate years at Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, where he led the team to the National Small College National Championship in 1996. He earned his degree in 2006 from the University of the Ozarks.
 
Jankovic is married to Bojana with whom he has two children, Anja and Vuk.
