One of the first phone calls Eric Musselman made after he was offered Nevada’s head-coaching job was to a person he had never spoken to before. That person was Lindsey Drew.
Drew, a high school senior at the time, had just de-committed from Arizona State after the Sun Devils fired Herb Sendek. Musselman was calling to make his recruiting pitch. Drew was in the middle of class.
“I remember the first time I talked to him I was in my art class and he called me and I stepped outside and I talked to him,” Drew said.
