Valparaiso coach Bryce Drew is believed to be a candidate for the Georgia Tech opening. A question to ask: Would he come?
In recent years, Drew, 41, has been among the hottest candidates among mid-major coaches, leading the Crusaders to a 124-49 record (.717 winning percentage) in five seasons. The team has won four regular-season championships in the Horizon League and advanced twice to the NCAA tournament. Thursday night, Valparaiso lost to George Washington in the finals of the NIT in New York.
A statement last March to the Times of Northwest Indiana, as the Mississippi State rumors swirled, is intriguing.
