Northwestern has hired former Michigan assistant Ben Greenspan to coach its baseball team after it moved on from Jim Foster amid allegations of misconduct.
Foster coached the Wildcats for one season, going 10-40.
The Chicago Tribune and WSCR-AM reported that Foster led a toxic culture that prompted several assistant coaches to quit, and that his bullying and verbally abusive behavior prompted a human resources investigation by the university. After Foster was let go, Gragg said: “This has been an ongoing situation and many factors were considered before reaching this resolution. As the director of athletics, I take ownership of our head coaching hires and we will share our next steps as they unfold.”“My job is to identify, recruit and develop young men to reach their highest potential individually and collectively as a team,” he said.
