Is that normal timing? IIRC he’s not actually a coach anymore but Izzo’s personal assistant

Hopefully they’ll place a personal ad to replace him-
Seeking: Personal assistant, no taller than 5’0", must despise change and progress

Hearing Jay Wright and Coach K near the top. Pretty much coach in waiting tag when Izzo retires.

If they must be an old college buddy, I’m sure Steve Mariucci has some time on his hands.

IMO if Stephens has an adequate year at WMU he will be the MSU head coach for the 2023-24 season.

Unless Xavier Booker commits and he talks himself into a ‘one last run at it’ team. But if his roster stinks again I’m all in on this prediction.

Izzo’s career needs to end with a Woody Hayes/Clemson moment involving Hunter Dickinson. It would be the greatest thing to ever happen and simultaneously convince me that there is a God.

I get what you’re saying but that would be physically impossible unless Izzo is biting HD’s kneecaps Dan Campbell style

Well now you’ve just gone and made the moment that much more beautiful in my brain. Gratitude.

Daring to dream here, but to have Izzo pull a Jeff Van Gundy by hanging on to Hunter’s ankle helplessly while getting pathetically dragged along the hardwood floor would be glorious.

I would be in favor of watching Gonzaga beat MSU by 30 on an aircraft carrier.

I don’t like this idea because playing on a ship is so fluky that MSu could win

More evidence that Izzo is retiring. He loves that game and wants it to be his legacy

Uh, have you looked at MSU’s roster and Gonzaga’s roster? MSU is not capable of winning that game

Get enough condensation on the court and wind in the air and anything can happen. That’ll add enough variance to maybe give MSU a chance
I would watch that blowout in the rain
I would watch that blowout on a train
I would watch it on an aircraft carrier
I would watch it with my terrier but would have to avert my eyes when Malachi Smith is on the floor
