Tom Izzo has won the biggest prize in college basketball as the head coach of the Michigan State Spartans. He has victories against all of the coaching legends of his time, and some of all time.
His teams have played in nearly every iconic basketball palace in the nation and in ground-breaking events and at breathtaking venues from coast-to-coast and around the world.
And on Thursday, in the birthplace of basketball, Izzo received the first initiation of his membership to an exclusive club, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame -- a finely tailored sports coat in basketball orange, of course.
