There is plenty of smoke surrounding his program and how he gets kids to Waco, and there have been numerous articles written questioning his character.

The crux of the confusion centers on something that's not all that big. One of Drew's assistant coaches, Mark Morefield, reportedly sent multiple text messages in June 2010 to coaches of Baylor recruit Hanner Perea -- text messages that were against NCAA rules for reasons of timing. One of my sources said he warned Drew that Morefield was breaking NCAA texting rules, and that Drew told him, "I'll take care of it."
Now, the question is, did he? Both sources told me the illegal contact from Morefield to Perea's coaches -- some texting, some calls -- continued in some shape or form for months, not stopping until the NCAA began looking into it that fall. So the question has become -- the question the NCAA wants to answer -- is one of compliance: Did Scott Drew stop Morefield from breaking NCAA rules as soon as he learned of it, or did he wait several months before putting his foot down?
So I told him. I told him I was angry that his assistant coach -- the same one, Mark Morefield -- had threatened to have Perea deported if Perea didn't follow through on his oral commitment to Baylor. Perea, a native of Colombia, is going to Indiana.

He knew an assistant had threatened to have Hanner Perea deported if he did not attend Baylor, knew that the assistant was making illegal contact via text etc to Perea's HS coaches, did not stop it immediately, and did not fire the assistant when he heard about it.

The Bears finished either 11th or 12th in the Big 12 each of Drew’s four seasons. In their third season, the Bears weren’t even allowed to play any non-conference games.
However, Drew has found a way to recruit elite-level players to Waco and has led the Bears to the NCAA tournament in two of the last three seasons — including an Elite Eight berth last season in which Baylor lost to eventual national champion Duke.
Dunn, the team’s top returning scorer at 19.6 points per game, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault last week and was suspended indefinitely from the team and the school following a domestic dispute with his long-time girlfriend.

The article focused more on the assistant and his alleged threats of deporting Perea if he did not pick Baylor (he ultimately picked Indiana).

Baylor guard LaceDarius Dunn, considered by many to be a top-five player in the Big 12, was arrested today for a second-degree felony on his girlfriend. Dunn and the female were involved in an altercation on Sept. 27. The phrase “causing bodily harm” is used in the police report. His bail was set at $12,500, and he faces between two and 20 years in prison if he’s not lucky enough to get off on probation terms. The facts: Dunn broke her jaw in two places, leading to a felony assault charge and the woman needing surgery.
It also led to Baylor coach Scott Drew putting his best player on the pine for an indefinite amount of time. This came about because Dunn went down to the Waco Police Department and turned himself in. Officers got scent of this when the victim checked into the hospital on the day of the altercation, and from there one thing led to another to get them to investigate how she came to have her jaw fractured.

For breaking his girlfriend's jaw in two places, looks like he was suspended for 3 games to start his senior season against Grambling St., Lasalle, and Jackson St...
There are multiple other articles questioning his usage of negative recruiting (some have called worst in college basketball), he has hired former AAU coaches to BS positions, etc etc. |
