Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo’s name has suddenly emerged in rumors about the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Izzo’s name has popped up on the NBA radar screen more than once in the past, but he has never made a move.
The Cleveland job isn’t all that far from his home in East Lansing, which would make it less of an adjustment.
That said, Izzo has already laughed off any speculation he will make a jump to the NBA.
He has made it perfectly clear he is happy with the Spartans and that Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert hasn’t been ringing his phone off the hook.

Michigan State Spartans junior guard Korie Lucious is considering a transfer to another school.
Lucious, an unheralded guard during the regular season, took to the spotlight in the NCAA tournament.
Because of injuries to both Kalin Lucas and Chris Allen, Lucious took over the point guard role and flourished.
He hit a huge, game-winning shot to beat the Maryland Terrapins to advance to the Sweet 16 and helped lead the Spartans to the Final Four.
The guard wants significant playing time but knows he will be stuck behind Lucas at the point guard position.
