After 21 years at Baylor, the one job Scott Drew always knew he would have to consider came open. Instead, he's back with the Bears.
Born on October 23, 1970, Scott Drew graduated from Butler University in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. During his time at Butler, he gained experience as a student assistant for the men’s basketball team. His coaching career began in 1993 as an assistant coach for the Valparaiso University Crusaders under his father, Homer Drew. He spent nine years in this role, during which he also earned a master’s degree from Valparaiso University. In the 2002-2003 season, Drew took over as head coach for Valparaiso, leading the team to a regular-season conference championship and an NIT bid.
On August 22, 2003, Drew accepted the head coaching position for the men’s basketball team at Baylor University. He inherited a program facing significant challenges, including NCAA sanctions and a history of limited success. Despite these obstacles, Drew embarked on a comprehensive rebuilding effort. In his first season, he led a short-handed team to an 8–21 record. Over the next few years, the team’s performance steadily improved, and by the 2007-2008 season, Baylor achieved a 21–9 regular-season record and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1988.
Drew’s tenure at Baylor is marked by consistent progress and significant achievements. He led the team to two Elite Eight appearances in 2010 and 2012, and an NIT Championship in 2013. The program reached its peak in the 2020-2021 season, winning its first Big 12 regular season title and, most notably, the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship with an 86–70 victory over Gonzaga. This historic achievement solidified Drew’s reputation for transforming and elevating college basketball programs.
