Scott Drew has made a decision.
Several report that he has decided to remain at Baylor rather than take the Kentucky job. According to Jeff Goodman, Drew’s family did not want to leave Waco, Texas.
Drew appeared to give serious consideration to Kentucky. On Wednesday, a private plane returning from Lexington, Kentucky, was seen arriving in Texas. The plane was carrying members of Drew’s family, suggesting his family had visited.
Drew has been the head basketball coach at Baylor since 2003. He has a wife and three children, all of whom have been used to living in Texas. They apparently are comfortable and happy there, so Drew will stay put.
Drew has reached the NCAA Tournament 12 times at Baylor. He has won one national championship and reached two Elite Eights and two Sweet 16s before losing in the NCAA Tournament.
The 53-year-old spent one season as Valparaiso’s head coach before taking the Baylor job.
