Every year it seems like there are rumors of NBA teams going after Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo. He may have been close to leaving a couple times but has resisted thus far. He did say recently though that if the NBA calls, he will listen so we at least know he will take the phone call.
Now word has come out that that call might comes from Michigan State Alum and Owner of the Pistons Tom Gores according to Sam Amick:
One name he’s expected to go after is Tom Izzo at Michigan State.
It makes sense for the Pistons to go after Izzo. At some point, he may want to challenge himself at top level in his profession and there is nothing wrong with that. I just don’t know if the Pistons job is the one that will get him to leave East Lansing.
