SMU basketball has completed its staff under head coach Tim Jankovich.

The Mustangs announced Tuesday the hiring of Shawn Forrest as an assistant, filling the spot left by Tim Jankovich’s July promotion to head coach.

Forrest left Louisiana Tech, which originally hired him in May, to take the job at SMU. He spent the last three seasons as an assistant at Western Kentucky.

“I am excited for the opportunity to join coach Jankovich’s staff at SMU,” Forrest said in a statement. “Coach Jankovich is one of the best minds in the game and very well respected throughout the country. His vision, the Moody Magic and an opportunity to help build upon what SMU basketball has accomplished over the last four years was something I simply couldn’t pass up. I look forward to contributing to the championship tradition and culture at SMU.”

Forrest’s other coaching stops include Louisiana-Lafayette, North Texas, Arkansas State and Florida A&M. He started his career as a graduate assistant at Troy in 1998 and played college basketball at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
