On August 22, 2003, a mere 4,889 days ago, then 32 year old Valparaiso head coach Scott Drew agreed to become the new head men's basketball coach at Baylor University. If you are reading this blog, I don't need to rehash the details of why Baylor was needing to hire a basketball coach in late August but it's safe to say that Coach Drew was about to step into one of the toughest rebuilding jobs in the history of the sport. That first season in 2003-04, Baylor only had a handful of scholarship players as Drew was literally pulling guys off the intramural floor at the SLC and throwing them into the lion’s den that we know as the Big 12.
