Tom Izzo has decided to continue being the head coach of the Michigan State Spartans and no longer flirt with the idea of going to the NBA and becoming the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“Instead of coaching them in the NBA, I’m going to coach them in the NCAA,” Izzo said “I knew at the beginning that whatever decision I made would be a decision for life.

“I am going to be a lifer. This is what I’m going to be, and I’m damn proud of it.”

Don’t be fooled, Izzo wanted to go to the NBA and coach LeBron James, but the King refused to talk to Izzo and make a commitment to stay with the Cavs.

Tom Izzo will become a coach in the NBA someday. Bank on it.
