Okay, so today I decided to dig into this “Chris Collins Northwestern” thing. I’d heard the name buzzing around, especially in sports circles, but I wanted to get the full picture myself.

First, I opened up my trusty browser. I didn’t have any specific site in mind, so I just typed “Chris Collins Northwestern” into the search bar and hit enter.
The results page popped up, and wow, there was a lot! I saw a bunch of articles, videos, and even some social media posts. Mostly, It is about basketball.
I started by skimming through a few of the top articles. It became pretty clear quickly that we’re talking about the head coach of the Northwestern University men’s basketball team.
- I learned that he’s been the coach there for a while – since 2013, I think one article said.
- There was a lot of talk about how he turned the program around. Apparently, Northwestern wasn’t exactly a basketball powerhouse before he arrived.
- I even found some stuff about his own playing career – he played at Duke under the legendary Coach K!
I spent a good hour just going through different articles and videos. I watched some interviews with him, and he seems like a pretty intense, but also down-to-earth, kind of guy.
One thing that really struck me was how many people were talking about the “culture” he’s built at Northwestern. It seems like he’s not just focused on winning games, but also on developing his players as people.

After all that digging, I feel like I have a much better understanding of who Chris Collins is and what he’s all about. It’s pretty inspiring, actually, to see someone have such a big impact on a program and on the lives of the players he coaches.
It was some time well spent, diving into this topic.
