Scott Drew is a good, not great coach. Bill Self is a great coach. Chris Beard is on his way to being a great coach. Bob Huggins was a great coach.
On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the worst coach, 5 being average, and 10 being the best, I would rate Scott Drew as a 7. Very few programs would say they wouldn’t take Scott Drew as a coach, KU happens to be one of those very few programs.
Realistically, how many schools would not interview Scott Drew if they had an opening and Scott Drew expressed interest in that job. In PAC-12, maybe Arizona, but at this point I would doubt Arizona would pass on Drew. In the Big 12, KU passes and that’s it. In the SEC, Kentucky would be the only school pass him up. In the ACC, Duke and UNC would be it. In the B10, maybe Michigan St. and in the Big East, maybe Villanova.
I feel comfortable in saying that Scott Drew has elevated Baylor to a point that very few schools wouldn’t at least bring in Scott Drew for an interview if Drew expressed interest in that job. The 4 top tier blue blood programs (Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina (these are specifically in alphabetical order)) are probably the only ones who don’t bring Drew in for at least an interview at this point.
