I wonder if Izzo might look at a NBA gig now with the Nasser stuff at MSU and how he keeps stepping in it to defend/protect the University.
Shaka Smart was a big name not too long ago.
I really liked Shaka Smart, but you could also add guys like Tony Bennett or Mark Few. Depending on what style you plan on building. Few might be the best with the current core. Shaka would be great for getting players engaged, but I think anyone who possesses lackadaisical tendencies would have to be shopped. I've been impressed with Tony Bennett... although I must admit, I think he can be a bit of a stickler. He would need all new PGs, too. It would take some money to pry them away from the college ranks, though.
