Thread: Bring Tom Izzo to Detroit! (old thread)

    Izzo has nothing but rah-rah. That doesn't work in the pros.

    I hate Flip and agree with this ten fold. Some people need to stop watching College basketball and the NBA in the same week. Until someone can name a straight out of college coach with some rings in his first 2-3 years, this is a not so legit discussion.

    Someone needs to create the "Official Tom Izzo Watch Thread" to lure the Sparties back.

    college to pro's doesnt always work, and yea, izzo would need to change... but i'd take him over flip.

    flip's flex offense is brutal.

    i dont watch enough sparty ball to really claim to be an izzo expert, but when they won the championship he heavilly stressed rebounding and transition D. they were pretty amazing how they could crash the boards and similtaneously get down court. seems to me when the lakers were great they were kind of similar.

    but if we were hoping for a coach to come in and lead us to a championship from ncaa's, well, i dont think any coach is doing that, but i'd say coach k is the only real candidate.

    I hate Saunders mainly because his defensive philosophy is his offensive philosophy. He came up with the little catchphrase about how "if you're playing good offense, it spurs good defense"... which maybe is true, but so what? That's not a way to coach defense, because you can never always have good offense with this roster, particularly when its based around jump shooting. In the old days, when our offense sputtered, we locked down on defense. These days, when our offense sputters, we get raped by Boobie and Lebron.

    Man, fuck him.

    To re-iterate: YOU ASK HIM ABOUT DEFENSE AND HE RESPONDS BY LOOPING THE QUESTION BACK TO OFFENSE. THAT'S HIS PHILOSOPHY! PLAY GOOD OFFENSE TO PLAY GOOD DEFENSE.



    i have no idea though if Izzo is any good though, i dont care about MSU (go blue).

    Here's a question for everyone.

    If not Izzo, then who? This can go from the Bring Tom Izzo thread to the Who can we get to replace Flip thread.

    Come on Karl, why would Larry King want to coach the Pistons? Lets be realistic here.

    Maybe this guy -

    I'm sure he meant Larry Frank, but he was just extended by the Nets:
