Baylor to name Drew head basketball coach

Star-Telegram

Scott Drew, men's basketball coach at Valaparaiso, is to be announced as head coach at Baylor at a news conference Friday, according to a Baylor source.

Drew coached one season at Valparaiso, succeeding his father, Homer Drew. Scott Drew was an assistant at Valparaiso for nine seasons, including in 1998, when Valparaiso advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

Last season, Valparaiso, a member of the Mid-Continent Conference, finished 20-11, including a 62-60 loss to Iowa in the National Invitation Tournament.

Drew will replace Dave Bliss, who resigned Aug. 8 after Baylor found evidence of NCAA violations in the men's basketball program.

Drew is very inexperienced. One year at Valpo is a different world than building a big 12 team in shambles. He apparently has a good rep as a recruiter, but he won't have much to sell at BU. From what I can tell at baylorfans, the fact he is young, up and coming, and a strong Christian got him the job. They are taking a gamble here, but they don't have much too lose and a lot to gain.
