After a two-week courtship by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tom Izzo has decided to stay with Michigan State. He could have doubled his salary, and perhaps been a factor in helping the Cavs keep LeBron James on their roster, but he did not wish to abandon his players and program, and stated that he wanted to be "a lifer" with the Spartans.
Good for him. Now it is time for Cleveland to go to Plan B, as in Byron Scott. Failing that, they may move on to Plan C, and offer Calipari a chance to escape a step ahead of the NCAA Infractions Committee . . . again.
