MSU's Tom Izzo blasts NCAA over 'over-legislating' by referees

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo talks about the way the college is game is being called.

East Lansing — At one point Sunday night during Michigan State’s victory over Florida Gulf Coast, Spartans coach Tom Izzo was assessed a technical foul.

Nothing out of the ordinary there. Izzo has never been one to keep his feelings to himself, especially with the officials.

“Definitely earned,” Izzo said after the Spartans 106-82 victory. “Immaturity on my part.”

But, as Izzo took the podium for his postgame press conference, there would be no criticism of officials.
