Tom Izzo will be 65 years old in January of next season. His career seems to be winding down after coaching for 24 years in East Lansing, but something happened in 2018-19 that changed things.
A team may have just tacked on years to his career which is something he probably didn’t think was possible after the nightmarish 2017-18 season with off-court distractions and investigations into his program for handling of certain player issues.
Heck, there were even rumors after last season that he had just a couple of years left in the tank, at most, and some within the program felt that he wasn’t far off from retirement.
