Tom Izzo is the best college coach in America.

6 Final Fours in 12 years.  Amazing.

[steve dave]

He's unbelievable

[jmlynch1]

Crazy that every kid he has coached for four years has been to a final four.

there's only been one better run since Wooden.  and that was coach K's run from 86-94:  7 FFs which included 3 runner-ups and back to back championships

[Dugout DickStone]

He and Coach K are neck and neck but think Izz is the best.

rough ridin' phenom.

Had the chance to meet Izzo a few years back; not only a phenomenal coach, but a stand-up guy.

on tony kornheiser's radio show last week or so he was talking with some guest. they were saying if you asked other college coaches or people in the media who the most well liked coach is its izzo

Coaches just as well as he shoots free throws. And Haver, how are you so lucky? You meet every celebrity that's meaningful. Izzo, Moore, etc.

Family is from the Lansing area, and supports the Green and White.

He shoots free throws every day because he missed  two free throws that cost his high school team a state title.

Izzo definitely has the benefit of recent performance to back his claim to the title, "BEST."  I think the game vs. Butler will be an instant classic.  I also think that whoever survives is going to have a tough time with either Duke or WVU (I, personally - don't ban me, mods! - think it'll be Huggie and the Mountaineers).

KU couldn't get Izzo if they gave him Lew Perkins money.  Oregon is getting ready to offer a bagillion dollars...and Izzo is going to say no.

After Lew Perkins, ku no longer has "Lew Perkins money"

Somewhere Ron Prince and Mark Mangino are tipping their caps (cowboy hats) to Lew.
