MUNCIE, Ind. – Recognized as one of the nation's top assistant basketball coaches with a proven track record in recruiting and player development, Chris Capko has been named Ball State University's 21st head men's basketball coach.
Currently the associate head coach with Southern Methodist University and active this week with the Mustangs in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, Capko has spent the past 10 seasons under coach Andy Enfield at both SMU and USC. SMU was lauded this past year for landing the nation's fourth-ranked recruiting class, and with that class the Mustangs reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017, their first at-large bid since 1993.
