Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo was asked on Tuesday to give his thoughts on Louisville signing a 21-year old NBA G League player.

Izzo did not hold back on giving his take.

“To me, it’s ridiculous. To me, it’s embarrassing,” Izzo said. “And uh, I love my job…I don’t respect my profession.”

Izzo sarcastically joked that he’s going to call some former Michigan State greats such as 66-year old Magic Johnson.
