When speaking on Bruce Weber, longtime Michigan State head coach gave the ultimate respect.

“I wouldn’t do it for anybody,” Izzo said. “But if you lose a kid to Bruce, you know it wasn’t underhanded. You know he’s going to do things the right way.”

Bruce Weber has had a great run in college basketball. And even in his twilight years, he expressed interest in continuing to coach if he’s given another opportunity.

I think all fans are wishing him the best in whatever the future may hold.
