EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern interim coach David Braun is taking a «very calculated» approach with off-field team activities this month, while still finding ways for players to bond and prepare for the season after a turbulent summer.
In response to hazing allegations within the program, Northwestern coaches and players went through mandatory anti-hazing training before practices began Aug.
3. «We've had an opportunity to go through extensive education when it comes to hazing, as a team and as a staff,» Braun said Wednesday. «That education will continue.
We're being very mindful of making sure that we find ways to allow this team to build and become cohesive and have fun in team meetings with music, making sure that this isn't an environment where it's just business.
