Northwestern rewards Collins with 3-year contract extension | |
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Northwestern rewarded coach Chris Collins for a bounce-back season and the school's second NCAA tournament appearance with a three-year contract extension through 2028, the school announced on Monday. Collins is the only coach in the program's 118-year history to lead Northwestern to the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats made it for the first time in 2017 before enduring five straight losing seasons. Northwestern turned it around in a big way in 2022-23, going 22-12 and tying for second in the Big Ten at 12-8. The Wildcats beat Boise State in the tournament before losing to UCLA. Collins split Big Ten Coach of the Year honors with Purdue's Matt Painter. MORE | |
