Bryce Drew is the men's basketball coach at Grand Canyon University in Arizona. He was named to the position on March 17, 2020. Prior to coming to GCU, he was the head coach at Vanderbilt University from 2016-2019 and his alma mater Valparaiso from 2011-2016.
In high school, Bryce was a standout player and named Indiana's Mr. Basketball in 1994. At Valpo, Drew's college career saw him win Mid-Continent Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons (1997,98) and hit a very famous game-winning shot to help his team beat Ole Miss in the 1998 NCAA Tournament.
After college, Bryce was selected 16th overall by the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 1998 NBA Draft.
