Concordia University Chicago men's basketball coach Steve Kollar is no longer with the team weeks after players were hospitalized following an intense practice.
Advertisement“University and athletic leadership have continued to receive feedback and gather information beyond the conclusion of CUC’s initial internal inquiry. Significant new information has recently come to light,” Matanyi said.The university was unable to say whether Kollar left or had been fired and did not provide specific details about the new information, citing “confidential employment records.” CBS 2 first reported his departure.
Athletic director Pete Gnan wrote then that Kollar had “the overall support of his team and their parents, many of whom have voluntarily provided affirmation of their support during our recent inquiry,” in a letter to players, their parents and staff. The team had gotten off to its best start in decades before the injuries, but forfeited several games while players were recovering. The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference then determined Concordia-Chicago would not be allowed to play its remaining conference games because of the forfeits, Matanyi said.
