Scott Drew is my #1 and it isn’t even close. What he’s been able to do at Baylor surprises me more and more every year. He isn’t the best Xs and Os guy, but somehow he gets a bunch of athletes and makes it work. I don’t think he gets near the respect he deserves.

@Kcmatt7 Everyone’s got an opinion and yours and mine are pretty far apart on this one.
I believe that Scott Drew is a huge reason Kansas had 14 consecutive conference championships. He had so much talent during that time and did so little with it. Honestly, in every game that Baylor had any kind of a lead on us, I didn’t even have to change my superstition routine - I knew that Drew would find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
He may be a wonderful guy, pillar in his community or whatever, but I’m glad he’s Baylor’s coach and not ours.

The question isn’t “who do I want to coach at KU?”
The question is, “who is the most disrespected coach?”
And I think you’re proving my point. Drew took a historically bad program with zero signs of life and turned it into a very solid program that is competitive every single season. He has twice as many NCAA tournament appearances as the rest of the coaches in program history combined. He has a quarter of their wins. And he does all of this in a state where they are completely overshadowed by UT, Tech and A&M. All while also competing against TCU, Houston and SMU for similarly ranked players.
Drew is the furthest thing from the reason KU had their conference title streak last. He has elevated a program that was a basement dweller for literally a century, into a respectable program and that is at least a major part of why the conference has been so strong top to bottom over the past 7 or 8 years. If you’re looking for programs that should be ashamed, look at A&M, UT, OU and OSU. Those are the programs underachieving.
Drew should be proud as hell about what he has accomplished at Baylor.

@Kcmatt7 Like I said, it’s a matter of opinion. You obviously think he’s a great coach, I don’t. That’s OK. I may be dead wrong. Maybe he would go to … Alabama or wherever and tear it UP.
But I’m pretty comfortable having him in our league.

Interesting development and timing is even more curious.

At the pace Virginia plays I bet he tried to retire at the end of last season, but just now got it done.
