Whether Scott Drew would be a good culture fit at Indiana is a complex question. While his coaching success is undeniable, cultural differences and expectations could present challenges.

Potential Fit:

• Winning Culture: Drew has built a winning culture at Baylor, something Indiana desperately desires. His emphasis on team unity and player development could translate well.
• Character Development: Drew is known for emphasizing character and faith-based values, which could resonate with some Indiana fans.
• Recruiting: Drew has proven he can recruit top talent, which is essential for success in the Big Ten.

Potential Challenges:

• Public vs. Private: Baylor is a private, faith-based institution, while Indiana is a large public university. This cultural shift could be significant.
• Expectations and Pressure: Indiana's basketball program carries immense pressure and expectations. Drew is used to success, but the level of scrutiny at Indiana would be much higher.
• Fan Base: Indiana's fan base is very passionate and demanding. Drew would have to adapt to a different level of fan engagement.
• Big Ten vs. Big 12: The Big Ten and Big 12 conferences have different cultures, styles of play, and recruiting bases. Drew would have to adapt to this change.
• Recruiting Base: Drew has built his recruiting base in Texas and the surrounding states. Moving to Indiana would mean building new recruiting ties.

Ultimately, Drew's success as a coach is undeniable. However, his ability to adapt to Indiana's unique cultural landscape would be a key factor in his success.
