It's like after you make your first million. And then the 2nd soon after. It all starts happening a lot faster

Well, Tulane and Purdue both lost today, so Drew remains tied with Hunter and Painter for 104th all-time. Good chance to move up on Tuesday!

With last night's win over TCU, Coach Drew passed Ron Hunter (former Georgia State and current Tulane HC). He's now tied for 103rd place all-time with 462 wins with Sean Miller (former Arizona and current Xavier HC) and Jim Baron (former St. Bonaventure and Rhode Island coach).

Drew is one victory behind Matt Painter, and two behind Bill Herrion, longtime New Hampshire coach who retired last year.

With tonight's win over Cincinnati, Coach Drew passes longtime New Hampshire coach Bill Herrion, who retired last year. He's now tied for 100th all-time with Xavier HC Sean Miller, whose season is over.

He's also tied with Taps Gallagher, who coached Niagara from 1931 until 1965, and Tim Floyd, who coached at a number of schools, including Iowa State, but is best known as being the coach that succeeded Phil Jackson as the Chicago Bulls HC in 1999.

With yesterday's win over Colgate on the Round of 64, Coach Drew passes Taps Gallagher and former Iowa State and Chicago Bulls head coach Tim Floyd on the all-time coaching victory list.

He now has 466 career wins, and moves into the Top 100 all-time. He's in a three-way tie for 98th place with former Eastern Michigan, Cal, and Rice coach Ben Braun, and former UMass, Michigan, and Iowa State coach Johnny Orr. He's one win behind former Washington and current Tulane coach Lorenzo Romar.

Never knew this thread existed! Awesome!! Drew has a chance to climb pretty damm high before he retires if he keeps his current trajectory

I think he will coach another 10 years....run between 250-300 wins to hit the magical 750 wins or get dang close to it. Then retire. Statue put up a few days later....

Maybe I'm too ambitious and optimistic but I would to see him get 30+ wins this season.

I think he coaches another 15 years. He doesn't seem to be the kind who hangs them up early. But I guess I wouldn't have thought that about Jay Wright either.

Lets get another one tonight!

With Saturday's victory over Arkansas, Coach Drew passed long-time Iowa State and Michigan coach Johnny Orr, as well as former Rice, Cal, and Eastern Michigan coach Ben Braun.

With tonight's win over Sam Houston, Coach Drew keeps pace with Xavier coach Sean Miller, and passes former Pepperdine, Saint Louis, and Washington coach Lorenzo Romar, who is currently an assistant at Loyola Marymount.

Coach Drew has 468 wins and sits tied for 97th place. Next up on the all-time list is former Michigan and current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker.

I think he coaches another 5 years..long enough to groom a successor and maybe try NBA or USA National Team.

I think during the Kentucky flirtation a few media reported or speculated that was all he had in his tank

Was there something in the way he ordered off the menu at Mi Casita that implied a 5 year window?

The question I would like answered is this

Has every player that will ever play for CSD as Head Coach already been born?

I would hope not

With Wednesday's victory over New Orleans, Coach Drew moves to #95 all-time, passing former Michigan and current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, and former Pepperdine, UCLA (where he won a national title), Rhode Island, and Georgia coach Jim Harrick.

Drew is still tied with Xavier coach Sean Miller. Next above them on the list is current Butler coach Thad Matta, who is 4 wins ahead of Drew.

Matta was at ohio state? Didn't know he was back in coaching. Or maybe he never left

His last season at tOSU was 2017. He started at Butler in 2022, and didn't coach anywhere in between those jobs. Interestingly enough, his first head coaching gig was at Butler, in 2000-01. Butler and Pepperdine seem to be cradles for future P5 coaches.

With Saturday's victory over Arizona State, Coach Drew passes former Jacksonville State, Wichita State, Texas A&M, and Maryland HC Mark Turgeon, and now sits tied with Kermit Davis for #93 all-time.

Drew also passed Sean Miller and holds a 2-win lead on him at the moment. The gap between Thad Matta and Drew has closed to one game, currently.

With Wednesday's win over Kansas State, Coach Drew passed Kermit Davis into 93rd place all time. With today's victory over Utah, Coach Drew moves into a tie with former Illinois State, Vanderbilt, and Pitt coach Kevin Stallings for 92nd place all time.

Butler won today, so Thad Matta remains one win ahead of Drew. Matta is tied with longtime Arizona coach Fred Enke with 480 career victories.

Teaff, Mulkey, Briles and Drew = BU Coaches Hall of Fame
All rebuilt programs to national prominence
Drew's climb was the highest and continues
Beat BYU

With the victory over KU, Coach Drew moves past Kevin Stallings and into a tie with Thad Matta and Fred Enke for 90th all-time.

With today's victory over UCF, Coach Drew passes Fred Enke, who was Arizona's coach from 1925-1961. He moves into a tie for 90th all-time with Villanova (where he won an NCAA title), UNLV, and Cleveland State coach Rollie Massimino. He sits one win behind Butler coach Thad Matta.

Kendal might be considered a bit premature...

Yeah, list him Twice - - LOL

Firing this back up for the 2025-26 season! Coach Drew sits in 89th place all-time, with 486 career wins. He's tied with Jack Gardner, who coached at K State and Utah from the late 1930s to the early 1970s, and current Butler coach Thad Matta.

If we stick with my original assumptions and Drew gets ~25 wins this season, he'll get career victory #500, and he'll pass such luminaries as Abe Lemons, Bruce Weber, and Billy Donovan. With a solid season, he could pass Nolan Richardson.

With this evening's victory over UTRGV, Coach Drew passes Jack Gardner and Thad Matta (temporarily, at least - Butler plays on Wed), and into a tie for 87th all-time. He's tied with Pat Kennedy and current UT head coach Sean Miller.

With last night's victory over Washington, Scott Drew sits at 86th all-time in career victories. He passed Pat Kennedy, who had several coaching stops over his career (spanning from 1980-2011), but had his longest tenure at Florida State in the 80s and 90s, predating Leonard Hamilton.

Drew is now tied with Thad Matta, Sean Miller, and Abe Lemons at 488 wins.

I think it is safe to assume that he will soon pass my friend the late Abe Lemons.I wish Abe was still with us so he could share humorous observations about the current state of college-pro basketball.

Abe Lemon's quotes were on the same tier level as John McKay's! My favorite of Abe's was when he was coaching at Texas and he said something like "we hate going to Fayetteville to play, you can parachute in but you have to hike out!"
