Jerome Tang Returns to Baylor

Jerome Tang is back at Baylor after a whirlwind coaching journey — from associate head coach who helped them win a national title in 2021, to head coach at Kansas State where he reached the Elite Eight before being let go. With Scott Drew’s new staff unveiled for 2026-27, it’s a reunion of familiar faces: former players Jake Lindsey and Tweety Carter, plus Ron Sanchez returning for his second stint. Baylor’s 2024 season ended with a 17-17 record — their first losing campaign since 2006-07 — but they still pulled off a major win: sending Cameron Carr to the Knicks with the 24th overall pick. Baylor and Duke are now the only schools to produce a first-round NBA draft pick every year since 2021 — proving consistency is still king.
