Though a reliable defender for much of his career, Koncak is perhaps best remembered for the six-year, US$ 13 million contract he received from the Hawks in 1989 – an unprecedented total for a reserve. As a result, he earned the derisive nickname "Jon Contract".
On February 23, 2008 SMU retired Koncak's jersey. Koncak is an Eagle Scout.
