That exchange sure looked like much ado about nothing to me.

If Izzo ever chucks a chair across the court, then the comparison might be fair.

...or drops his drawers and dumps a turd in front of his players at practice, tellin' 'em that's how they're playing.... :rolleyes

State was up 11 when Izzo attacked his player. They were -17 the rest of the way.

Even Nolan Finley weighed in on Izzo's conduct. Funny stuff.

I think Mr. Izzo needs to call it quits after next season. His time has past. Of course, as a Michigan fan, I hope he stays! :)

As for the exchange between he and Aaron Henry, it was somewhat over the top but probably nothing to write home about. Plenty of other coaches have had fiery exchanges with their players.

To call that exchange "physical" is just silly.

I thought Michigan State University took pride in how they abuse their students in the athletic realm.

Maybe they can send John Engler in to find a resolution.

That's an idea, TC. Make Engler the new coach.
