According to a source, #Cavs are still conducting their coaching search so it appears as if Izzo will be staying at Michigan State.

Can't say that for sure, but if Izzo is staying at MSU, it's definitely because he couldn't get reassurances that LeBron was staying (or very likely to stay) at this point in time.

Dan Gilbert was in Akron yesterday, wonder who he met and what they talked about.

Every single tea leaf has Lebron to the Bulls. Why also do you think the Bulls passed on Izzo? Because Lebron probably doesn't care for the guy. And as soon as the Izzo was dismissed as a Bulls option, TT is hired. Every single tea leaf folks points to Lebron in the Chi.

Sources tell WDIV-TV's Bernie Smilovitz that Tom Izzo will announce that he will stay with Michigan State http://bit.ly/cHtdhf

Lebron is gone...Izzo would have taken the job if he thought Lebron had a good chance of returning.

He threatened to bulldoze the city if LeBron doesn't return.

About time Izzo I know that was hard decision but damn that could have hurt your recruiting for Michigan State. Next Cavs coach will probably be Bryon Scott

Another thing I picked up from his Larry King interview, Larry brought up Lebron's charity work and also economic contribution to the city and LeBron made it very clear that he can't be responsible for a high level issue about that. He got a very serious look in his face. TBH, I think he a little ticked that of all this talk about he could devestate the econonomy and what not.

No Michigan State press conference has officially been called as yet. There may be a statement. Situation with Izzo still hazy.

I can see him not liking the question. It's an unfair reason to use to try and guilt him into staying. Its outside the purview of his career interests. Kind of like when political figures would demand MJ step up and support this or that social issue. He was under no obligation to do so.

I don't think it's true that LBJ doesn't care for him.

According to a source, there's been a Michigan State players meeting called for 6:45.

Basically. LeBron could still stay and someone like Byron Scott could wind up coaching him. None of this changes much.

I don't think it's true that LBJ doesn't care for him.

I would say it's more accurate to put it as the Bulls were confident Izzo isn't a dealbreaker when it comes to signing LeBron, not that they "didn't like him."

+1 for all 3 of us. We figured out the Izzo situation. Onward to British Petroleum.

do you think they will be discussing ways to rehabilitate their growing reputation for being wrong in the media? Darn, they can't be sources anymore.
