Drake University announced that it has hired Furman’s Niko Medved as its new coach.
Medved, the 2017 Southern Conference coach of the year, spent the past four seasons with the Furman where he led them to the 2017 Southern Conference regular season title. Drake interim coach Jeff Rutter was also finalist for the full-time job. The Bulldogs played well under Rutter but couldn’t sustain their momentum down the stretch.
