June 15, 201016 yr Author I can't say that I blame him. If LBJ is there, it's a great job. Without him, it's too big of a risk. Since nobody knows what he's going to do, I don't think you can take the job.
June 16, 201016 yr Doesn't suprise me at all that Izzo decided not to leave. He is arguably the best coach in the NCAA. Not many coaches can gaurentee that they can get you to a Final Four in a four year span, he has proven to do so.

June 16, 201016 yr Does Izzo's action reveal what James' decision is? I don't think LeBron knows what he's going to do. He's going to have a tough choice, leaving his home town team and more money for a big stage.
June 16, 201016 yr I don't think LeBron knows what he's going to do. He's going to have a tough choice, leaving his home town team and more money for a big stage. Do you really think he does not know what he is going to do? I am torn on his mindset with this. I want to believe he has a tremendous amount of loyalty to his hometown team, but he has never really shown that he is a pro-Cleveland type guy.
June 16, 201016 yr I believe that LeBron knows that he will stay in Cleveland, but he enjoys the attention of making everyone wait.
June 16, 201016 yr Izzo is a good coach. He has proven that at MSU. Now it will be interesting to see who Cleveland tries to get next.

I want to believe he has a tremendous amount of loyalty to his hometown team, but he has never really shown that he is a pro-Cleveland type guy. Yes. I think he's completely torn. He loves the attention and I think he wants to leave, but I think part of him feels like he has to stay. IMO, from what I've read, he: -Feels like he has to stay in Cleveland and wants them to give him a reason to stay. -Feels that Chicago is his best chance to win. -Would love to go to NY and play on that stage.
June 16, 201016 yr I know it stinks to wait around, but I believe Cleveland would be smart to wait for James' decision. Obviously if he picks the Cavs then they should be able to land a quality coach. Of course the risk is if James doesn't choose Cleveland, then perhaps nobody would want to go!
June 16, 201016 yr I don't think LeBron knows what he's going to do. He's going to have a tough choice, leaving his home town team and more money for a big stage. It's been said several times that Lebron can make up to $30M more in Cleveland than if he goes somewhere else, I think having a chance to win is the biggest part of this decision for him.
June 16, 201016 yr Izzo could not make the jump without knowing what Lebron is doing. Since Lebron doesn't know yet, Izzo made his choice. I think he made a wise choice. The Cavs without Lebron are a 25 win team with no chance at the postseason whatsoever. I respect Izzo and this did nothing but confirm my positive opinion of him. He is good for college basketball and I am glad to see him stay.
