The college basketball world is ever changing, and Spartans head coach Tom Izzo believes he’s adjusted more than many believe.
Izzo was speaking at the Larry Shyatt’s coaching clinic on Wednesday, where he addressed a number of items in the world of college basketball. One of which was the ever changing nature of the college basketball landscape and how he’s been forced to change his philosophy on a number of things.

Per a post on social media from college basketball insider and reporter Jeff Goodman, Izzo believes he has “adjusted” more than he thinks, and acknowledged that it wasn’t always easy for him to make the necessary changes.
“I’ve adjusted to this new era more than I think,” Izzo said during the coaching clinic. “Sure, there have been some rough spots. But players are the most important thing to me.”
This past year’s success on the court for the Spartans helps vindicate that statement from Izzo, with Michigan State claiming the Big Ten title by more than three games and reaching the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019. Hearing Izzo acknowledge that there have “been some rough spots” should also be promising for fans since it shows he isn’t set in his old ways and is clearly adjusting to the new era of college basketball.
