Tom Izzo means everything to Michigan State, and he has the most pure Spartan aura.
Tom Izzo is the heartbeat of Michigan State men's basketball. Ever since he took over as head coach in 1995, he's been pumping energy and passion into the program, turning it into a powerhouse. But his impact goes way beyond the court. Izzo's known for molding players into not just basketball stars, but also into good individuals, which is a big deal.
Then there's Zach Randolph, another Spartan who made it big in the NBA. He didn't spend long in college -- just one season under Izzo -- but it was enough to set him on the path to a stellar pro career. Randolph is all about power and hustle, and he learned a lot of that from Izzo., Michigan State consistently brings the heat during the NCAA tournament. It is always a threat, making deep runs, regardless of its seeding.
