Vandy got their coach. Curious to see how many people are mad we didn't hire him...

Vanderbilt men's basketball has found its next coach, a name synonymous with NCAA Tournament heroics, according to Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel.
Bryce Drew, who's led Valparaiso to the Big Dance twice in five seasons, is expected to be introduced as the Commodores' new coach within the next "24-48 hours" per SI's report. He replaces Kevin Stallings, who bolted for Pittsburgh last month.
Drew's mostly known for sinking fourth-seeded Ole Miss in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament with a buzzer-beating three, one of the more iconic shots in March Madness history. He was a two-time Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year at point guard for Valparaiso before playing six seasons in the NBA.
Drew's brother, Scott, is the head coach at Baylor.
Stallings wore out his welcome at Vandy after 17 seasons, the last four underwhelming without an NCAA Tournament win.
