Izzo Turns Down Cavs......

[ForeverHawk]

A good move in my opinion for him. Maybe he learned a lil something, something from Nick Saban???

MSUs Tom Izzo rejects chance to coach Cavaliers - Road Runner

 

[CWBhawkeyes]

Not a good decision; what else can he do at MSU?

 

[Bucketochicken]

Good news. He's the best in the biz; I want him to stay in the Big10, and stay working with kids.

Win more titles, mentor more youth, act as a positive role model, be a fixture & a source of pride on the MSU campus, act as an ambassador for the Big10...

And maybe - and this probably sounds crazy - maybe he's happy there. Kind of like... oh, I don't know... Kirk Ferentz?

If Lebron was a guarantee to go to Cleveland I bet he woulda bolted...

 

[ILHawkeye]

If Lebron doesn't come back, that's going to be a bad basketball team. Maybe Izzo believes James isn't going to be there. At least this leaves the door open for all the Bulls fans that want him to come to town.

So Tom learned that he's NOT going to be the Alabama head coach???

Make great money, retire when he wants to, not have to coach premadonna pro athletes.

Not live in a routine, have the opportunity to coach one of the greatest players of all time, coach at the next level, make more money, stay in the Midwest

My thoughts exactly

Somehow I suspect Tom Izzo doesn't think there's a "next" level from where he is now. Money? He's got some, and probably will get more for just looking at the Cavs gig.

you are still assuming Lebron will be a Cav next year.....do you know something we dont??

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Good move by Izzo, going to the Cavs could have been a disaster. If LeBron comes back he has to win a title, in his first year in the NBA, or else the season will be a failure. If him and LeBron didn't get along for some reason the Cavs would drop him in a sec to please LeBron. If he didn't come back to the Cavs it would have been Izzo coaching a terrible team in a depressed city, I don't think $3 mil more a year is worth that.

 

[TritonHawkeye]

Good news. I hope he doesn't get swayed into the NBA and continues to coach at MSU until he retires. IMO...the NCAA needs more guys like him.

 

[EyeAmHawk]

I never once though Izzo would ever take the job. If you seen the Izzo interviews on campus with the Big Ten Network I believe, you can tell he is totally happy where he is and probably wouldn't be happy in the NBA.

Apparently Izzo did not feel the need to stroke he's ego like that. He stayed right where he belongs.
