Report: Tom Izzo Gets NCAA Violation For Giving Tour to Players From His High School

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo received an NCAA violation for showing a nice gesture to his alma mater, Iron Mountain High School, according to mlive.com.

After Iron Mountain reached the state semifinals for the first time in school history, Izzo wanted to welcome the team to Michigan State's campus. One day before the Mountaineers were set to play in the semifinal game at the Breslin Center, he gave the team a tour of the facilities and Michigan State's locker room and let them watch the Spartans' practice.

Izzo discussed his tour with reporters two days later at the Big Ten tournament in Chicago.
