Scott Drew is a highly respected figure in college basketball, known for his remarkable leadership as the head coach of Baylor University’s men’s basketball team. Since taking over the program in 2003, Drew has transformed Baylor from a struggling team into a national powerhouse. His coaching career began under the guidance of his father, Homer Drew, at Valparaiso, where he served as an assistant coach before briefly becoming the head coach. Drew’s ability to rebuild and elevate Baylor’s program has earned him widespread recognition in the world of college sports.

When Drew arrived at Baylor, the program was in disarray, plagued by NCAA sanctions and a tarnished reputation. The team had only one NCAA tournament appearance since 1950, and expectations were low. However, Drew’s vision and commitment to the program led to a dramatic turnaround. After four seasons of rebuilding, Baylor made its first NCAA tournament appearance under Drew in 2008. Since then, the team has become a consistent contender, making twelve tournament appearances as of 2024, a testament to Drew’s coaching prowess.

One of the crowning achievements of Drew’s career came in 2021 when he led Baylor to its first-ever NCAA championship. That season, the team finished with a 28–2 record and secured the Big 12 regular season championship, their first conference title in 71 years. Drew’s ability to develop talent, foster team chemistry, and implement a winning culture has made him one of the most successful coaches in college basketball. His leadership during Baylor’s historic championship run solidified his legacy as one of the sport’s elite coaches.

Drew’s success at Baylor has not only been measured by wins and championships but also by the respect he has garnered from his peers and players. His ability to rebuild a program from the ground up and sustain success over the long term is considered one of the greatest coaching accomplishments in college sports history. Drew’s impact on the game extends beyond the court, as he has become a role model for aspiring coaches and players alike.
