No. 3 – Baylor

Much like my least favorite coach of all time, Jim Boeheim, the Bears’ head coach, Scott Drew, has enjoyed a long and fruitful career based off a gimmick defense. Using a matchup 1-3-1 zone, Drew has sustained a successful 16-year career at Baylor that includes eight NCAA Tournament appearances, two of which his squad managed to reach the Elite 8, and 12 straight seasons of winning basketball.

Unfortunately, just like Boeheim, watching Drew’s offense is similar to watching paint dry. The 5th most unwatchable offense in the nation last year according to the Watchability Index, his squad failed to rank inside the top 100 in any Watchability stat, including a bottom 50 ranking in Pace of Play.

Drew’s offense is as basic as it gets and proves that he would much rather spend all of practice teaching his 1-3-1 zone rather than installing an offense that can actually put points on the board. Like the coaches previously mentioned, Drew’s success is undeniable, but unless you’re a big fan of a zone defense that grinds each game to a halt, then I’d avoid tuning in to any Baylor games.
