Former Duke guard and assistant coach Chris Collins and Northwestern have agreed to a contract extension which will run through 2027-28, which leads to an interesting question: is he now the best coach in Northwestern history?
That’s a trickier question than it looks like. If you limit it to wins and losses and tournament appearances at Northwestern, then yes. But Northwestern has had some decent coaches who found the job to be a coach killer.
Among them are former Duke coach Bill Foster, who did well at Rutgers and Utah before moving to Duke and getting to the 1978 championship game and the 1980 Elite Eight.
