Ray Giacoletti, 54, resigned his position as the head coach of Drake Men’s Basketball on Dec. 6. Jeff Rutter, who has served as an assistant coach at Drake since 2013, will be filling the role for the rest of the 2016-17 season.
An impromptu press conference was announced and held in which Athletic Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb broke the news.
Seasons past
The men’s basketball team was told about the change in a private meeting with Giacoletti a few hours before the press conference.
This season started poorly for the Bulldogs.
