    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog

    In this interview with ZAGSBLOG and SNY.tv, Marquette assistant Aki Collins previews tonight’s Sweet 16 matchup in Newark between the Golden Eagles and 2009 NCAA Champ North Carolina.

    A hot name in the Coaching Carousel, Collins also addresses his desire to one day become a Division 1 head coach.

    “It’s definitely my goal to become a head coach,” he said. “The chips will fall where they may. If it’s this year that I get a job, great. If not, we’ll be back here next year and we’ll have a really good team next year at Marquette. And at some point in time, I believe I’ll be a head coach.”

    For more on Marquette, read Mike Vorkunov’s piece today about how the Golden Eagles are a reflection of head coach Buzz Williams.
