Scott Drew staying at Baylor after reportedly turning down Kentucky

Scott Drew will not be replacing John Calipari at Kentucky.

Drew, who has been Baylor's head men's basketball coach since 2003 and led the Bears to the 2021 NCAA tournament title, will stay with the Bears after reportedly turning down an offer from Kentucky.

"In our program, we strive to put Jesus first, then others, then ourselves," Drew said in a statement posted to social media. "We truly believe God has called my family and I to continue our work here at Baylor, surrounded by the best people and community anyone could be blessed to have.
