East Lansing — After making some changes to its coaching staff over the offseason, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo announced Monday some additional shifting with his assistants.
Mike Garland, a longtime assistant under Izzo, will transition to special assistant to the head coach, while Mark Montgomery will go from recruiting coordinator to one of the Spartans’ three full-time assistant coaches.
According to Izzo, Garland’s role will be focused more on developing student-athletes on an individual level while still working to break down film and helping with daily operations in the program with some on-campus recruiting included.
