After spending sixteen seasons as a long-time assistant for the WNBA’s Detroit Shock, Seton Hall and his alma mater of Duke, Chris Collins took the risky head coaching assignment at Northwestern in 2013. After four seasons in Evanston, Collins led the Wildcats to their first NCAA tournament appearance in school history in 2017 and won the programs first-ever tourney game against Vanderbilt, 68-66.
All of this makes him a hot commodity among major college basketball programs such as Indiana who are searching for a new head coach. In his four years at Northwestern, Collins has gone 70-58 with a 30-42 record in Big Ten play.
