Legendary Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo cares deeply about his players.
You hear it all the time, Izzo cares more about making sure his players succeed after their Michigan State careers than he does about winning games. Sure, he gives his all to make sure he wins, too, but he cares about his guys on a personal level.
Not many coaches can say that and that’s what sets Izzo apart.
Whether it’s helping these guys prepare for life after basketball or just setting them up for long professional careers either in the NBA or overseas, Izzo wants to see his guys succeed.
