Bryce Drew replacing Kevin Stallings as Vanderbilt Commodores coach

After Kevin Stallings left to become the next head coach at Pitt following a tumultuous 2015-16 season, the Dores are hiring Valparaiso's Bryce Drew to become the school's next head coach.

Drew, who's most remembered for his shot to beat Ole Miss in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, has gone 125-49 in the past five years at Valpo, including two NCAA Tournament appearances. This season, Drew led the Crusaders to a 30-7 record and an appearance in the NIT title game before losing to George Washington.

Amazingly, Stallings has been with Vandy since the 1999-2000 season and yet has just two Sweet 16 trips and hasn't made it past the first weekend since the 2006-07 season.
