Alright, so I spent a bit of time the other day looking into Doug Collins’ family. It kinda just popped into my head, you know? Heard his name mentioned, maybe during a game broadcast or something, and I thought, “Wonder what his family situation is.” Just general curiosity.

So, I did the usual thing. Fired up the computer, opened a browser. Didn’t do anything fancy, just typed “doug collins family” into the search bar. Hit enter and waited for the results to load up. You get the standard mix of stuff, news articles, maybe some bio pages.
Started clicking around on the first few results that looked promising. Didn’t really go deep into page 5 or anything, just scanned the top ones. You quickly start seeing the same names pop up, which is usually a good sign you’re getting somewhere solid.
What I Pieced Together
From what I gathered scrolling through a few different places, here’s the basic picture I got:
- His wife: Her name is Kathy. Seemed pretty straightforward, mentioned consistently alongside him in various pieces.
- His kids: Found mentions of two children. A son named Chris and a daughter named Kelly.
The name Chris Collins definitely stood out because, well, basketball. Seemed familiar. Did a quick follow-up search just for “chris collins basketball”. And yeah, turns out that’s his son, the one who played college ball and then got into coaching. Coached at Northwestern University, I think? It clicked then, I’d definitely heard that name in a basketball context before. It’s interesting how families sometimes follow similar paths, especially in sports.
So yeah, that was my little dive into it. Didn’t take too long. Started with a simple question, did some basic searching, and pieced together the info about his wife Kathy, and his kids Chris and Kelly. Pretty interesting to see the family connection to basketball continuing with his son.
