DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Ray Giacoletti is getting a chance to build Drake basketball into a better program. Giacoletti spent three seasons at Utah before resigning in 2007 after back-to-back losing seasons. He was hired by Drake in late March to take over its middling program. Giacoletti says he wants to recruit players who will stay with the Bulldogs for at least four years to build a foundation for success.
