Scott Drew is the head coach of Baylor University's men's basketball team. For one year, he was the head coach at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana where his brother Bryce Drew played and his father, Homer Drew is the current head coach.
[edit] Valparaiso Career
Drew graduated from Butler University in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts after spending two years working with their men's basketball team. Afterwards, Drew assumed an assistant coaching position with the Valparaiso University Crusaders men's team under his father Homer Drew. He spent nine years in this position, during which he earned master's degree from Valpo and a reputation as one of the best recruiters in the nation. Once the elder Drew retired, he became the team's head coach for one year. In that year, Valparaiso won the regular season conference championship, but lost to IUPUI in the Mid-Continent Conference tournament, thus losing the bid to the NCAA tournament. However, the team proceeded to earn an NIT bid.
[edit] Baylor Career
On August 22, 2003, Drew took the head coaching position of the men's team at Baylor after the resignation of Dave Bliss due to the scandal. As fallout from the scandal, the program was put on probation until 2010, and had paid scholarships and paid recruiting visits reduced until 2007. Post season play was also cancelled for the 2003-2004 season, and only conference games were permitted for the 2005-2006 season. With these handicaps, Drew led the Bears to an 8-21 record in the 2003-2004 season, 9-19 in the 2004-2005 season, and 4-13 in the conference-only 2005-2006 season.
