Lynn Raisman, the mother of Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Aly Raisman, criticized Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo for his comments on Friday in regards to the Larry Nassar court hearings.

After Friday's win over Indiana at Breslin Center, Izzo answered questions hours after the MSU Board of Trustees publicly supported school president Lou Anna Simon, who has been under intense scrutiny for how she's handled not only the Nassar case but the subsequent fallout.
