					<description><![CDATA[Great article.

It&#039;s sad that there&#039;s only a certain way to win in order to get praised from the talking heads of college basketball.  If Drew&#039;s teams have success (they have in the past and are currently), who cares if he uses a different approach to winning? 

If Drew gets called out of &quot;unstructured&quot; offenses, why don&#039;t other coaches get called out for overly physical &quot;thugball&quot;, or (grab- and tug-ball) that is so prevalent in some of the conferences these days?  That type of play looks a lot less like real basketball, and is a lot less entertaining.

If you don&#039;t like Coach Drew, then you haven&#039;t met the guy, because he is humble, engaging, optimistic...a great guy.  It&#039;s no wonder quality high school basketball players want to play for him.  He develops players on the court, they perform well off the court (he has had 20 of 21 seniors graduate)...they are true student-athletes.  What more could a university like Baylor ask for in a coach?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[great blog post- it is great to see a well thought out piece on Baylor&#039;s emergence versus the typical uneducated hack jobs that criticize Drew/Baylor but are devoid of factual info.  

Drew has his 2nd well balanced team at Baylor.  The first one went to an elite 8.  Last year, they were strong in the frontcourt but had guy that could shoot (Lace Dunn) and unsteady guard play all year long.  The Curtis Jerrells led teams had great guard play (Jerrells, Dugat, Bruce, Carter, Dunn) but weak interior options.  

The elite 8 team had good balance (Carter/Dunn at guards and Udoh/Acy/Lomers down low).  This year&#039;s team also has that good balance.  

Offensive efficiency numbers from KenPom for Baylor the last 5 years:  

2007:  15
2008:  13
2009:  3
2010:  92
2011:  35

Those guard oriented teams of 2007-2008 were very efficient offensively.  Scott Drew has done a terrific job at Baylor.  I&#039;m sure all Baylor fans hope that he continues to be thought of as a &quot;terrible&quot; coach for many years to come so Baylor fans can enjoy him and the winning that comes as a result of his ability to run a great program until he retires.]]></description>
