🎙 SIC ‘EM POD WITH COACH DREW

There are few better stories in college basketball over the past 2 decades than that of Scott Drew and the Baylor Men’s Basketball program.

From coaching his brothers and sisters at a young age, to taking over a Baylor program that had not seen postseason play in nearly two decades, Coach Drew has yet to find a challenge too grand to take on.

Now, after 21 years and taking Baylor to heights that few programs have been, there is still work to be done. Scott Drew is a father and a husband, a devout Christian, a 3-time Big 12 coach of the year, a national champion, and is proud to be the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Baylor University.

This award recognizes student-athletes who achieve their personal bests in the areas of academic achievement, athletic success, character formation and spiritual growth.
