Drake coach Ray Giacoletti resigns with team just 1-7
DES MOINES, Iowa — Drake coach Ray Giacoletti abruptly resigned Tuesday after three-plus seasons, saying it was time for a “new voice” to lead the Bulldogs out of a skid that has them just 1-7 so far this season.
Giacoletti, a former coach at Utah, went 32-69 at Drake and will be replaced by assistant Jeff Rutter for the rest of the season. Athletic director Sandy Hatfield-Clubb wouldn’t speculate on Rutter’s status following the season.
