The days of Keon Coleman as a dual-sport athlete at Michigan State appear to be over, at least of for now.
After completing his sophomore season with the football team, Coleman joined the basketball team for Friday night’s final nonconference game against Buffalo, a move that seemed to indicate he would spend the rest of the season with the basketball team, just as he did last season when he played with both teams as a freshman.
But on Tuesday afternoon, hours before Michigan State hosted Nebraska in its return to Big Ten action, Spartans basketball coach Tom Izzo announced Coleman would, in fact, not play basketball this season.
