Ideally, Colliton said, he would’ve informed Strome in the morning or the day before, but “in that situation, I think the wrong thing to do is before the game or in the morning say, ‘Hey, you’re going to be a healthy scratch tonight, but if Kalynuk can’t go, you’ll play, so get ready to play.’

“Over the last 10 days, it has become clear to me that the current challenges will not allow me to effectively lead our department, especially during these unsettling times in college athletics,” Polisky said in a statement. “My love and respect for Northwestern and for our student-athletes, coaches and staff is greater than my own desire to lead the department.

“I think some guys today were, I don’t know if concern is the right word, but everyone was talking about it, just trying to figure out what exactly was going on and who the positives were and stuff,” Taillon said. “I warmed up by myself out in left field and instead of going in the weight room, trying to avoid confined spaces.

“(W)e have come to know Mike Polisky for always putting the best interest of Northwestern ahead of his personal interests,” it says. “Mike never takes credit when things go well, and always steps forward when things don’t go as planned. He conducts himself with professionalism, respect, and the utmost integrity; a level of integrity we all wish we had the luxury of having ourselves. Most importantly, he treats everyone who works at or plays for Northwestern as if they are a part of his own family.”

The interior of the Crawfords’ unit was designed by Kelly Hurliman. It makes up half the building’s top floor and has a private elevator entry, 4-1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen with quartzite countertops and Wolf appliances, a living room with built-ins, a custom honed marble fireplace, a private office, a home gym, a walk-through pantry, a back kitchen and an 850-square-foot private terrace. The second level has a primary bedroom suite with two large custom walk-in closets.

“The COVID stuff has impacted everybody a little bit differently, but I think anytime you talk to any of the players, at least here, that have dealt with it, it takes awhile to get back,” coach Billy Donovan said. “I’m absolutely amazed. He’s got a few games under his belt and — you can still see he does get a little bit winded, which is natural — but for him to get back to that level … what he did was incredible tonight.”
