Coaches
Head Coach: Mark Phelps
Mark Phelps, who has served as associate head coach at Arizona State the past two seasons, was named the 25th men's head basketball coach at Drake University, April 21, 2008

"I am absolutely thrilled that Mark Phelps will assume leadership of the Drake University men's basketball program," said Drake Athletics Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb. " His extensive experience as an assistant in the Pac-10 and the ACC, coupled with his commitment to the holistic development of young men, make him the ideal candidate to continue the established success of the Drake Bulldogs.

Assistant Coach: Justin Ohl
Justin Ohl was retained under new head coach Mark Phelps after serving the past five seasons as an aide under both head coaches Tom Davis and Keno Davis.

"Justin understands why Drake University and Drake basketball are special, having been a student athlete and coach here. He embodies those qualities we will search for as we recruit young men to Drake. I am impressed with his knowledge, integrity, passion, commitment to the student-athlete and natural talent as a teacher, coach and recruiter."

Re: A Drake Bulldogs Legacy (CH 2K8)

Looking forward to the season. I love reading about legacies on College Hoops. I have done several on 2k forums and just moved Coach Akpan and the UNLV Running Rebels over here. I will add Drake to the list of teams I post records about and might have to include them in a schedule down the road.
