Northwestern basketball is gearing up for a major coaching overhaul ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Head Coach Chris Collins making bold moves to strengthen the program. John Martinez, a key figure since 2021, is promoted to Assistant Coach, taking on expanded on-court and recruiting responsibilities—especially targeting international talent—with proven success in NCAA Tournament runs. Trevor Marcus, veteran Duke video coordinator since 2017, joins as Assistant Coach and Director of Video Operations, bringing elite analytics and scouting expertise to elevate game planning. Meanwhile, Chris Lauten, longtime Director of Basketball Operations since 2010, steps into the Chief of Staff role, managing logistics, NIL strategy, and bridging the gap between the team and athletic department. This blend of internal promotion and fresh external talent signals Northwestern’s commitment to sustained growth while honoring its strong foundation.
