Tom Izzo isn't just the head coach of the Michigan State University men's basketball team. Izzo really is all it is to be a Spartan. Now, with Michigan State's upset over Marquette, Izzo's is taking his team to the Sweet 16 for a 15th time.
Moments after the upset, Izzo was in tears on national TV. He couldn't stop the flow during his postgame interview with CBS' Jamie Erdahl. "It's been a long year," Izzo said. "Really proud of those guys."
As a Michigan State Spartan, I've always been a huge Izzo fan. How can you not love this guy? An Iron Mountain, Michigan-native grows up to become one of the most beloved coaches in NCAA history. You can't make this stuff up. Check out awesome photos of Izzo over the years below. Go Green!
