Homer and Bryce Drew – On Life, Coaching, Family, Success

Homer and Bryce Drew – On Life, Coaching, Family, Success

When Homer Drew was 8 years old, he would see the older kids outside playing basketball and scramble out there to play with them. He got knocked around a bit, but he loved it, and it was the beginning of a life-long love of the game. Son Bryce followed in his footsteps, with the help of his older brother pulling him along. But their sister Dana was the most competitive of them all. On the morning of Homer’s induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in December 2019, we visited with father and son for an inside reveal of their take on life, coaching, success, and family.
