	I turned on ESPN radio and listened to Colin Coherd who was in the middle of interviewing Reggie Theas and the question I heard him ask Reggie went something like this. 'Reggie Tom Izzo is considering going to the NBA, having coached at the college and pro level what advice do you have for him regarding the biggest difference between coaching college and the pros' Unfortunately I didn't hear what led up to this. I haven't found any stories saying Izzo was interviewing or on someones short list. Has anyone heard anything about our great coach leaving? Please say it isn't so.

	he is being considered for the Bulls job. There is a story on Yahoo about it along with a phone interview where, unfortunately, he seemed quite interested. He says they haven't contacted him yet, but would listen to what they have to say. Apperantly Rick Carlisle is the front runner for the job.

	It would immensly suck if he left, but I think he is a spartan and I doubt he will leave. I think he has put too much into Michigan State to ditch us.

	It would be a sad day, indeed. Yahoo Sports report mlive.com's analysis of the Yahoo report Bottom line is Izzo will probably stay and take another shot at a national title. Maybe. GO STATE!

	The NBA product has improved, but not nearly enough for Izzo to leave a program and a city (and state for that matter) that reveres him. He has the keys, where in the NBA the players will simply let him borrow the keys. You just can't coach multi millionaires the same way you coach amateurs, and it will be a big adjustment for Izzo. If he has lost the passion for the college game and wants a new challenge, I promise he will rue the day he made the switch. Money will NOT buy anything close to what he has at MSU.

	I read an article about this in my local newspaper yesterday. It sounds like Izzo is trying to get an interview for the Bulls job. He was quoted saying the NBA is the ultimate level and would like to coach at the ultimate level. Rick Carlise was also a potential candidate. This is not the first time Izzo has considered leaving for the NBA. He will try the NBA at some point in his career - this may be the right situation for him being close to home. That sucks for you guys too because Tom Crean would have been a perfect replacement for Izzo. Good Luck!
