Northwestern head baseball coach Spencer Allen praised new athletic director Mike Polisky in an interview with Inside NU on Monday afternoon but declined to comment on the allegations that Polisky did not take complaints of racial discrimination seriously.
“I don’t have a response to those [allegations] just because I don’t have the details,” said Allen, the first Black head baseball coach in the Big Ten and a member of the conference’s equality coalition.
After first supporting the school’s decision to promote Polisky to athletic director last week, Allen affirmed his original statement with a second tweet on Sunday night.
