****Hawks @ Spartans Game Thread****

Izzo knows how to play the game....when it comes to gamesmanship (not to be confused with sportsmanship) he knows how to do it with the refs. If they're ahead in the late-going, he'll start to put on the "aw shucks" act with the refs, buying himself the benefit of the doubt for the next time they ref a Michigan State game.

As somebody else pointed out, if Fran pulled half the shit Izzo does, he’d be kicked out of the game in the first half.
 
He gives the guys way to long of a leash. Dakich called it coming out of half and Fran can't even see it coming. You have to know Winston is going to get going sooner or later and you know he shoots top of key, yet we fail to recognize it and protect against it. This has always been my biggest gripe with Fran, he doesn't teach situational awareness.

You can see that run coming, call a TO get the D set, run a good set play for your POY and keep the momentum at bay. Nah, **** it let em play.
