Dantonio abruptly ends national radio interview

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had to talk to his players on Wednesday morning, and he had little time to answer the same questions he’s been hearing for the last year or more.

Dantonio abruptly ended an interview with Mike North and Andy Furman, the hosts of FOX Sports Daybreak, prompting the host to wonder if the coach had hung up on them. In reality, there was a short window available for the interview and Dantonio needed to address the Spartans before they began conditioning tests, a team spokesman said.

The questions Dantonio faced were the greatest hits of what he’d rather not talk about – Jim Harbaugh, lack of respect and why Connor Cook wasn’t a captain in 2015.
