Izzo was asked a question by a reporter. What's he supposed to say? Of course he's going to say something in support. When has a coach ever commented on the firing of another coach in terms other than some variation of "well, it was a tough situation there, and obviously they felt they needed to make a change to shake things up, but I'll tell you what, that's a heck of a coach out there and he'll be successful wherever he ends up."
