Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo is a Hall of Famer for a reason.
The legendary head coach has won over 700 career games and he’s fresh off his 11th Big Ten regular-season title and his 11th Elite Eight appearance. He’s widely known as one of the best coaches in the country because he knows how to win and he actually cares about his players.
The narrative surrounding Izzo is that he’s an elite coach but even a better guy because he wants to make sure his guys are successful both on and off the court.
Izzo is respected by all of his colleagues, and that was only solidified by his ranking in a recent poll.
