In a shocking move, Vanderbilt is terminating Bryce Drew as head coach after just three seasons, sources told @Stadium.
Drew, 44, went to the NCAA tournament in his first year and played all but five games this season without the Commodores starting point guard and likely lottery pick Darius Garland – who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 23.
