Coach Collins headed to Northwestern

[BD80]

So much for the "like father, like son:"

"He’s fun to be around just practice, in the locker room. He’s a fun coach.”

So sayeth Mason of Chris Collins in one of the front page linked articles.

I'm pretty sure that nary a single one of Doug Collins' players has ever spoke so of him.

I welcome the day that a Matt Doherty coached team travels to Northwestern. If he doesn't get told, "No, you STFU!" a golden opportunity will have been missed.

An article in the Chicago Tribune adds Jon Scheyer to the mix of potential assistant coaches. He'd be a good fit, but are his playing days over yet?

Might this be Christian Laettner's chance to embark on a coaching career?

While happy for Bobby Hurley that he got the Buffalo job, if there are additional alterations to the Duke staff this summer, I would have loved for the potential of bringing Bobby to Durham. I think he could really help Quinn Cook refine his craft and groom him into a Duke great.

Bringing back this thread because Chris Collins has signed a contract extension with Northwestern.

"It's not 'coach Cal' money," he said in reference to Kentucky coach John Calipari's $7 million-plus annual salary. "But it's in the ballpark of what guys in our league are making. I want to be at Northwestern and love what we’re doing. I just wanted to be treated fairly."
