Tom Izzo said that coaching his son was the 'greatest experience' of his career and 'worth every minute' at Michigan State.
When Dan Hurley was in Andrew Hurley's ear as his son dribbled the clock down in the penultimate possession of UConn's national title game win on Monday, Tom and Steven Izzo could relate to them. Just like Hurley at UConn, Steven Izzo was a walk-on at his father's big-time college basketball program, usually only seeing the count when the game was a formality for the final few moments.
For that, I truly love him appreciate him, and I'd recommend it to anybody if the opportunity arrives, because so many of us don't get to spend time from 1 to 18. I got him from 18 to 23, and I got to spend some quality time.' Steven's departure puts a bow on another era over Izzo's 29-year tenure as Michigan State's head coach. It also caused some to speculate if it would be the end of his time in East Lansing.
