Brown being the bigger man and walking away while Izzo grabs and chases after him

Kinda hard to believe that Tyger Campbell started and Poole was 6th man on the 2018 La Lumiere team. [I understand it may have been position specific, but talk about a guy who likely peaked in 9th grade]

In reality, I think MSU players and Izzo have great relationships. He’s such a PoS though. Some guys are afraid to shoot and if you dare take a shot Izzo doesn’t like, he’s going to bark at you, sit you, etc.

For players who fit well with Izzo I’m sure they consider this tough love just like a stern parent and would defend him no matter what. But I’ve seen that behavior too many times with him berating and humiliating players on national TV. No reason in that situation he couldn’t have let it go to the locker room, take a breath, calm down, and then figure it out. But instead he puts his hands on him, screams at him, yanks on his jersey, etc.

I like how the analysis is, ā€œI’ve seen this many times,ā€ and that makes it ok.

ā€œYes this is a pattern of behavior and definitely not an outlier, everything is fine.ā€

At this point, it’s a cult mentality and regardless of Izzo’s antics he will still get recruits.
