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.

I love this man

From a Michigan fan coach izzo is a great man

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.

@MSURoyalNuke I didn't think I could love and respect him more, but tonight he stepped even higher in my regard. Authentic, genuine human being. 💚🙏🤍

His authenticity is admirable. 💚🤍

Very well said by Coach Izzo. Illini nation is sending all our love and support to you all💚🤍

glad he was able to spend time today visiting the wounded. I am sure it brightened the day of the students and families

Mr. Izzo is a great coach but he is a better human being.

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.
