i don’t think there is a figure at any other university that means as much as izzo does to MSU. it’s so far beyond basketball.

Tom was the assistant coach at my alma mater (NMU) when I was there in the 80s. And when my daughter swam for MSU I was able to meet him twice at banquets. Same guy. He’s just a truly authentic person who loves student and MSU. Wise words and so heartfelt. His grief is palpable.

Coach Izzo is the type of Spartan/Human being that we should all strive to be like, He embodies everything that we look for in a leader.
