Re: nice to see scumbag izzo eat shit

Let me get this right.

1 National Title
6 Final Fours
12 Sweet 16's
7 Big Ten League Regular Season Titles
4 Big Ten Tournament Titles.

And he's overrated?

And Railbird's claim to fame is sucking on Kelly's nutsack.

Add one to the Final Four count.

Re: Nice to see scumbag Izzo eat it

Izzo and his in game adjustments were on point today. Not many coaches bring this team back and outscore them 44-30 after the 1st half.

Not really an Izzo nut hugger but he impressed me today.

Good job Coach!

You don't have to be to appreciate just how good he is.

Izzo is one of the all-timers.

Izzo is the best coach in sports.

But he's a bit of a scumbag.

I don't think I can name a coach at the top of college basketball who isn't a scumbag.

In order to get the AAU kids, you have to live in the slop with the pigs.

I was more referring to his comments on the Bruce Weber firing. He owned Weber head to head and he was clearly bad for the Illinois program but Izzo talked shit about Illinois for canning him even though Illinois gave him a long time to turn his act around. He shouldn't have stuck his nose in Illinois' business, but certainly shouldn't have done so when he was flat out wrong.

He liked Weber, obviously. Nothing wrong with defending a friend.

I've seen plenty of coaches who criticized other program for firing a guy they considered to be a good coach.

Meanwhile, Groce has led the Illini to consecutive NITs, so I'm not sure they were correct in dumping Weber for Groce.

Not like Weber is living it up at Kansas State. Firing Weber was long overdue, although it looks like Groce may have been a swing and a miss as well.

Kansas State is not the program Illinois is. Lower expectations, inferior resources, less history.

Illinois does not exactly have a track record of good decision-making.

Re: Nice to see scumbag Izzo eat it

Izzo has had the rep of being a fantastic coach in March for 15 years and he keeps producing final four teams...the definition of great, especially considering FW's post above re: his recruiting classes.

I like Illinois but it's not a final destination job. They will never get a difference maker from Chicago until they hire one of the city-league scumbags.

Re: Nice to see scumbag Izzo eat it

Michigan State has made nine E8s and seven final fours since Izzo took over.


It had been sixteen years since their last ELITE EIGHT when Izzo took over.


Pre-Izzo, the last time Michigan State ever had real tournament success was 1979. No Elite 8s from then until Izzo took over in 1995. Nine in 20 years for Izzo now.


Michigan State in their entire history has only made 9 final fours, and 7 of the 9 came under Izzo.

Betting against Izzo in post season has probably been a disaster.Similar to MSU'S Football's D'antonio

My main issue is that Weber took over an elite program because Self made it one... so Weber turning that 2005 team into shitty recruit after shitty recruit after shitty recruit is SQUARELY on him.

Recruiting in college basketball is very momentum based. Illinois had all of the momentum and Weber coached Self's recruits well, but he didn't continue the recruiting momentum Self started and he also stopped coaching well.

Weber is a nice guy, obviously cares about the guys, but he was a failure in Illinois and that was obvious to anyone with a brain. Izzo speaking up for him when he wasn't performing was just stupid, seemed more self serving because hell, Izzo benefits from Illinois being a nobody and Weber was making certain that always remained the case.

Coaches will always back each other, its the nature of the business.

Lets look at why Weber failed. The Chicago Public League was pissed that U of I didn't hire a black coach, so they sent their top guys out of state.

Re: Nice to see scumbag Izzo eat it

Michigan st is allowed to handcheck ball handlers, bump cutters, shove post players in March. Refs give Izzo everything he needs and more. See the NMSU game and the phantom lane violation on Gillenwater. See the Iowa St elite 8 game with the double foul on block charge when Eustachy went nuts.
