NEW YORK -- Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said Friday that he is confident that he has handled allegations of sexual assault involving members of his basketball program properly at all times.
Izzo has declined to discuss details about how he and Michigan State's athletic department have handled past allegations of sexual assault and violence since late January, when Outside The Lines published a report about "a pattern of widespread denial, inaction and information suppression" regarding claims made against athletes and others at the university. Izzo told reporters in East Lansing earlier this week that he and his players would answer only basketball-related questions for the remainder of the season.
