Famous Quotes & Sayings

Tom Izzo

The only reason I'd say no to that is because it's the type of player he is. We have other guys that can fill in in certain spots, but it's the athlete, it's the versatile 6-6, 6-7 athlete that can guard inside guys and guards, and that's where it creates some problems for us. It's not really replacing apples to apples. Anybody else that we replace him with is a completely different kind of athlete.

The person I heard say it the best was Bum Phillips when they asked him about Earl Campbell. He said, 'I don't know if he's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.'
