They're waiting for Izzo at Lansing's airport and he hasn't arrived yet. Everyone in limbo at the moment, waiting on Izzo's answer.

Tom Izzo just left Cleveland heading home. Dan Gilbert was not with him. Izzo appeared to have his wife with him and his son. He also has a daughter. He spent about 8.5 hours in town.

In past 24 hours, Tom Izzo has told confidants how "sick of recruiting" he's become in college. Says that's big part of possible NBA move.

Izzo is feeling what many with reputations for running clean programs do: College ball's relentless cheating culture has worn him down.

I hope that Izzo gets his butt cleaned in Cleveland. It is ridiculous how much hype that this guy is getting.

Do you honestly think that Izzo is any better than Scott Skiles? Scott Skiles would whoop Tom Izzo ass in X and O, defensive schemes, or whatever.

Its a testament to just how great Tim Duncan is, what with all of the success he has had even though he plays for a coach who never played in the NBA.

Bill Russell's streak of 8 championships were coached by a person who never played in the NBA. The streak was broken when the coach was replaced by a dude who was simultaneously playing in the NBA, coaching Bill Russell, and being Bill Russell.

Everything is being magnified by the FA class of 2010. Even if he takes the job, a year from now, Tom Izzo will be thought of as just another coach in the NBA.

I remember how hyped the situation was when the Mike D'antoni was in contention between NY and Chicago. This board was on pins and needles. And look now, no one cares one whit about Mike Dan Tony.

All that matters is where the star players end up. If for Lebron that isn't Cleveland, then Izzo will be just another struggling frustrated coach.

Izzo's apparent inability to make a decision looks terrible.

His indecision means that they have had little to no contact with lebron. If they had contact with lebron the decision would be either yes or no. Either way this indesciveness is good for us.

Agreed.

Would've signed a long time ago if he thought they had a great chance at keeping LBJ.

Y! Sources: Tom Izzo still weighing his willingness to undertake a rebuilding job should LeBron leave Cavs.

Tom Izzo has been telling people that his decison will be soon but not necessarily tomorrow. The saga continues...
Here's what I know: Some players think decision comes Sat. & he's leaving. Izzo just saying "soon." Many MSU officials think he's staying.

And while so many assume LeBron's had a say in this, I again say no. And that is why Izzo is taking so long. That's only thing that's clear
