“You go to Michigan State, you understand that. That’s why you go there. That’s why they build pros. That’s why they get to the Final Four. That’s what you sign up for. Coach Izzo is direct and honest. He puts time into his guys for permission to be real. He lets guys come back at him, and he goes at them. That’s the relationship, that’s what’s built. He’s not an absentee father, and guys love playing for him. I’m disappointed you can’t coach a guy hard these days without somebody making a big deal about it.”
