Michigan State men's basketball finalizes coaching staff

Stability has long been the calling card for Tom Izzo’s staff at Michigan State.

But when associate head coach Dane Fife left this offseasonn for Indiana, it forced the Spartans to make some changes. Those became official Monday.

Izzo and the Spartans program announced former recruiting coordinator Doug Wojcik has been promoted to assistant coach, joining associate head coach Dwayne Stephens and assistant coach Mike Garland as Izzo’s top assistants.

But that’s not the end of the changes as plenty of familiar faces are returning to East Lansing.

Former player and assistant coach Mark Montgomery is back and takes over the role of recruiting coordinator, while Austin Thornton returns to become the video coordinator.
