East Lansing — Tom Izzo is looking forward to getting after Nick Ward again.
Yes, the Michigan State coach yells at his players, and sometimes they yell back. That’s how it works for the Spartans, especially, as Izzo pointed out Monday, when there is a trust between player and coach.
But Izzo’s eager to get after the 6-foot-9 center because he hasn’t been able to for the last three weeks, as Ward sat out with a broken hand, limited to only shooting drills and working on his conditioning.
