Legendary Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo was recently named the best in the Big Ten over the past decade. Just how good was he?
Tom Izzo was named the Big Ten’s coach of the decade by the Big Ten Network and no one outside of Ann Arbor is all that surprised.
The Hall of Fame head coach had one heck of a decade in East Lansing, kicking things off with a Final Four back in 2010. He then had more success than any head coach and was rivaled by the likes of Thad Matta, John Beilein and Bo Ryan.
