Tom Izzo has led Michigan State to seven final fours and has a good chance of reaching another this year, so there's really no argument against him having a wax statue. He's one of college basketball's iconic coaches and he deserves all the accolades he gets.
Here's the new work, which stands at Michigan State's Breslin Center. It's a well-intentioned gesture but it leaves a lot to be desired.
It's never a good sign when the guy the statue is mimicking calls the statue "creepy." He should be using words like "awesome" or, at the very least, "interesting" to describe it.
