Since being hired as the head coach at Northwestern a few weeks ago, former Duke basketball player and assistant Chris Collins has been making the rounds in his return to Chicago.
Collins grew up in the area and attended Glenbrook North.
Here's a video of Collins and Chicago Bears lineman Corey Wooten playing shoot the puck at a Chicago Blackhawks game this week:
As Collins said, "I'd be better off if I had a basketball hoop out there."
Collins also threw the opening pitch at a Chicago Cubs game. More fun: he led the crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
Collins was back at Duke last night for the team's end of season banquet, which you can read more about here.
Coach Collins very emotional passing mic to Coach K. "There won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of something learned at Duke"
