Published on 6/16/2020
As the point guard for the Runnin' Utes from 2002-06, Tim Drisdom was a part of three Mountain West Conference championships and a run to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2005. During this episode of Utes Insider, Drisdom shares his insights on what made those teams so great, as well as his memories of playing for head coach Rick Majerus and alongside Andrew Bogut, who was the 2005 National Player of the Year.
Following a professional basketball career from 2007-10, Drisdom moved back to Salt Lake City to become a high school basketball coach and pursue two of his other passions in his life: religion and music. Drisdom currently serves as the musical director for The Point Church and the Salt Lake City Mass Choir. He recently released a song with his brother Terrence, who performs under the name ERNE, entitled "Hold On," which aims to provide an inspirational message during these challenging times. It has already received over 14,000 views on YouTube.
