ESPN and MSU have both reported that Izzo is staying put.

Lebron probably told him he wasn't going to re-sign.

So what now for the Cavs? (would love to see a poll of what people think the Cavs will do coaching wise from this point forward)

It's the right move. He can continue at MSU and maybe someday be considered one the best coaches of his era and one of the better ones all-time in college basketball or he could have come to Cleveland and possibly been fired within two years and then have to start all over somewhere else.

I respect guys like Izzo, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Knight and Roy Williams. They know the college game. They are great at it and they know they are better off staying in it.

Good move Tom Izzo.

Good move Tom Izzo.

When the story broke (but before MSU confirmed), they immediately spoke with Dick Vitale, who said basically the same notion--that Izzo's legacy would be at risk in much the same way Pitino's was by going to the Celts.  Somehow I have a hard time shedding a tear for Pitino's legacy because of his time with the Celtics.

  Maybe he should have pulled a Pitino: "Sure, I'll coach your team, but only if LeBron stays..."

Smart move by Izzo.

The guy has been turning into a coaching legend in the college game.  Its good to see him remain that way.  The guy has done wonders at Michigan State and one of the very best at his craft.

Just when I thought Big 10 basketball stood a chance of being fun to watch again.
