Drew coaching tree

[tiny707]

You know there are some fans in the MVC world that like to slam Valpo. Especially facilities and letting us into the conference.There is also debate on whether we should hire within the Drew Coaching Tree or go outside of it. One thing that can't be denied is the tree is big and successful. They are friends for life and very close. Not sure if there is a better coaching tree in the MVC. I am sure I missed a ton but following is what I came up with:

1.) Scott Drew: Baylor.
2.) Matthew Driscoll: North Florida.
3.) Grant McCasland: Texas Tech.
4.) Paul Mills: Wichita State.
5.) Jerome Tang: Kansas State.
6.) Jared Nuness: Baylor.
7.) Bryce Drew: GCU.
8.) Roger Powell: Gonzaga.
9.) Casey Shaw: GCU.
10.) Jake Diebler: Ohio State.
11.) Greg Tonagel: Indiana Wesleyan.
12.) Lexus Williams: Boise State.
13.) Erik Biggs: UT-Martin.
14.) Austin Peters: AZ Christian University
15.) Chad Warner: Furman University.
16.) Chris Artis: Incarnate World.

Thank you for putting this thread together. It's incredible how coaching trees work - success breeds success. In the football world, consider how many coaches are products of the Nick Saban coaching tree. Up & coming coaches and former head coaches who need a fresh start go off to earn their doctorate in football/coaching while serving under Nick Saban for a couple of years.

Thankful for the Drew family and how God uses them to serve through the sport of basketball.

Saban is part of the Belichick coaching tree and BB's part of the Parcells coaching tree.
