EAST LANSING, MI -- Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo, who has built a national reputation for accessibility and candor, was again a man of few words Wednesday night.
In a news conference that could be described at times as tense and awkward, Izzo deflected questions for a third straight postgame session with media, who were hoping to get a fuller account about what happened with his program in incidents described in an Outside the Lines report last week.
"I watch a lot of TV, and I see on shows that everybody thinks that everybody has the right to ask a question," Izzo said, in response to a question about whether he's being advised to stay mum about any investigations involving his program.
