Today, we will find out if Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo has been selected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame; and if he doesn’t, it would be stunning.
Izzo is one of 14 finalists for the Hall of Fame. The Class of 2016 will be announced today in Houston, before the national championship game. Reports late Sunday have him in.
There is little debate Izzo is a great coach, and he certainly has the résumé to enter the Hall of Fame. But this is not a one-man show. Izzo’s true accomplishment is not wins and losses; it is the program he has built.
