http://www.statenews.com During his 14 years as head coach of the MSU men’s basketball team, Tom Izzo has participated in his share of pressure-inducing activities. He’s coached in three Final Fours, thrown out the first pitch of a Detroit Tigers game and even rapelled from the ceiling of Breslin Center. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Fri, 01 May 2009 09:51:53 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/39536 He’s coached in FIVE Final Fours. The fact that the most recent of those five was ONE MONTH ago makes it really embarrassing that you forgot it. Shame!

I would have really enjoyed being able to support the American Cancer Society along with Tom Izzo, but I live hours away so I can’t make it (sign me up for the DVD release, though). This event ends all discussion that Coach Izzo is a gift to this university in so many ways more than basketball. THANK YOU, TOM IZZO!!!
