EAST LANSING — Coach Tom Izzo said he would not be answering questions about allegations against his former players, and he refuted reports that he would retire or resign as Michigan State's basketball coach.

"I'm not going anywhere in my mind," Izzo said Friday night. "I'm definitely not retiring."

The 23rd-year coach added, "There is nothing I'm going to say right now after a game in a press conference except that I support the survivors to the nth degree.
