DES MOINES, Iowa — Tom Izzo is a screamer. But he didn’t become one Thursday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena.

He has been howling at the moon since the first time he saw it. His players know this. His coaches know this. Anyone who has watched his Michigan State Spartans play over the past two decades should know it.

It’s what he does. If you don’t like the way he coaches, that’s fine.
