Izzo is surpassing milestones and reached a big anniversary of his lone title. At 70, with a highly ranked team, he's hoping to add to his legacy.

Tom Izzo did it again. Just when you thought his era of Big Ten dominance might be coming to an end, he pushed this year’s Spartans to a 17-3 conference record, a 26-5 overall mark and an 11th Big Ten regular season title — winning the league by three games over second-place Maryland and Michigan.

First of all, I want to start by saying that I don't think Tom Izzo is retiring anytime soon. A few years ago, the topic of Tom Izzo's successor was a very hot topic in the Michigan State basketball community as it looked like the Spartans may have lost a little steam amidst the changing world of NIL and the transfer portal.
