The seniors were just a year younger than me! When I started there was no NCAA championships for women.” From there, the native of Evanston, Illinois moved on to Kentucky where for one season she was the head coach and where she married her husband Mark Wise.

Northwestern Hoops Coach Chris Collins Part II | Tell Me A Story I Don't Know

11/6/2023
Chris Collins was on the hot seat. If his team didn’t vastly improve from the year before, he could be out as head basketball coach at Northwestern. Instead, he guided them to their second trip to the NCAA Tournament and was named coach of the year! But Northwestern isn’t Duke where Jon Scheyer is the head coach. Scheyer broke Collins’ scoring record at Glenbrook North High School in suburban Chicago. Then Collins helped coach him at Duke where he was Mike Krzyzewski’s associate. They would win a national title in 2010. Collins has a challenge this season with six new players but he has four returning from the squad that made the Big Dance last March. One is Boo Buie who averaged 17 points a game. Collins says this team has to be hungry to pursue accomplishments with this team. In part two of this podcast, Collins also remembers how he was a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls when his father, Doug was coaching them. Collins also enjoys the fact he is the 8th person who attended Northwestern to appear on this podcast. Tell me a story I don’t know is sponsored by Mr.Duct. ( mrductcleaning.com).
