What Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo Says About Stan Heath:

"In his five years at Michigan State, he was a part of four straight Big Ten championships, three straight Final Fours and a national championship, so he has a blueprint and an understanding of what it takes to be successful. He took over a Kent State program that had high expectations, yet he found a way to exceed the expectations by winning championships and advancing to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.

"Stan has a great basketball mind and relates very well with kids. He's a people person, while also being well organized with an understanding of what he needs to do to accomplish his goals."
