Source: Izzo closer to taking Cavs' jobExcerpt
Tom Izzo is apparently closer to saying yes to the Cleveland Cavaliers than previously thought, a source told ESPN.com's Andy Katz on Thursday.
That source discussed Izzo's future with a close confidant of Izzo, who is coaching in the NBA. The source told Katz that Izzo, who talked to his team earlier this week about his interest in the Cavaliers, is leaning toward taking the job if it is offered.
"Three weeks ago that wasn't the case, but it has changed,'' said the source.

I guess I understand the whole "challenge" notion if one is a college coach looking at the pros, and certainly money is an issue. Yet, the games are vastly different, the cultures are vastly different, and Izzo is king at Michigan State. Maybe he's tired of recruiting. In my mind, though, I could come up with really strong arguments for staying.

It would be a big loss for college basketball, not just MSU.

Guys like Boeheim, Coach K, Calhoun, Izzo, Roy Williams, .... they have a great thing going for them in college. Usually nice towns, they're the top dog, security, lesser pay than the NBA... but it often goes farther in some of these places. And... stress?? yes, in both places, but more in the NBA with a lot less job security. I guess it depends on what they are looking for and the "challenge" of it. |
