Drew made 10 National Tournament appearances and seven NCAA tournament appearances in his career.
Drew put Valparaiso and its men's basketball program on the map over the course of his 22 years at the helm of the Crusaders with his “Building a Tradition” philosophy, which reached new heights in 1998 as Valparaiso advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. He amassed 371 coaching victories with the Crusaders, eight conference regular-season titles, eight conference tournament titles, nine postseason appearances, three postseason victories, faced the number one team in the nation in six of his last seven years as head coach, while also sending 32 players to the pros and 80 players into teaching or coaching.
Drew's sons, Scott Drew and Bryce Drew, have both been coaches at the Division I level. Scott is the coach of the Baylor Bears men's basketball team, where he has served as head coach since 2003, while Bryce is the head coach at Grand Canyon University. Both Scott and Bryce were also head coaches at Valparaiso, with Scott leading the Crusader program in 2002–03 and Bryce from 2011 to 2016.
