Minneapolis — Doug Wojcik wasn’t sure exactly what his role would be last fall when Tom Izzo asked him to rejoin his coaching staff.

He figured it’d entail more than the recruiting coordinator’s title implied, though. Few coaching staffs in college basketball are more collaborative than Izzo’s at Michigan State.
