Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo spoke against gun violence and called for the Spartan community to come together after three students were killed in a shooting.
Izzo has been Michigan State’s head coach since 1995, and his time in East Lansing began 40 years ago when he joined the coaching staff as an assistant in 1983. Over the last four decades, he has guided the program to a national championship, eight Final Fours and 10 Big Ten regular season championships.
Along with 40 years on the sideline, Izzo’s ties to the university also extend to his children. His daughter, Raquel, graduated from Michigan State and his son, Steven, is a walk-on for the men’s basketball team. “For 40 years, I’ve always believed that at Michigan State, we are at our own strongest when we are together,” Izzo said. “In athletics, the best teams are always greater than the sums of their individual parts. The same is true for our community.”
