Tom Izzo Gave Michigan State A Speech That Will Have You Ready To Run Through A Wall

At this point, I wouldn’t argue against you if you told me Tom Izzo is the best coach in college basketball. Sure, you have Cal and Coach K winning a lot of ball games, but they do it with teams that are loaded with NBA talent. Izzo, on the other hand, finds his way into the Final Four with guys who buy into his idea of team ball and just go to work on opposing teams (outside of Draymond Green, name me one stud Spartan drafted into the NBA since 2009).

Before the Spartans took on Louisville on Sunday, Izzo gave the team on hell of a pep talk. Here it is:

Now we know why you can never count out Sparty when Izzo is at the healm. Shit, how could you not want to go to battle after that? Tom really knows how to fire up a team. Two hours, that’s all he’s asking for. A simple, yet powerful message. The way he ends it just has you ready to take on the world.

This shit has me so pumped that I’m going to go challenge ol’ Dorn to Golden Tee at $500 a hole.

    Definitely a relationship between how much a coach resembles a Italian mobster and success on the court Pitino, Cal, etc

      Frank Martin is the ultimate Mob Boss look-a-like. It’s too bad he left K-State.

    Tom Izzo is proof that you can take 5 guys from a local YMCA and turn them into a final four team

    Gary Harris to the Bulls (19th overall pick), Adreian Payne to the Hawks (15th overall pick)

        Being able to call themselves an NBA All-Star. Payne and Harris are not, nor will ever be, All-Stars.

        Payne and Harris both averaged 16 points a game, and Payne put up a 40 point game in the tourney.

      I know he’s not a stud nor an NBA player but Kalin Lucas had straight ice in his veins during his tourney runs while at MSU. Last time I checked he was somewhere in the D league hopefully he will eventually make a roster.
