Tom Izzo is a Lawrence Frank fan

Tom Izzo commenting on Lawrence Frank really isn’t going to bring anything revelatory to the table, but anytime Izzo comments on the Pistons I’m most definitely linking to it. Via Keith Langlois:

"“You get people saying this guy is a players’ coach, this guy is not a players’ coach,” Izzo said. “He’s both. And that’s hard. It’s hard to be tough when you have to be tough and deal with things. People ask me, ‘How can you be so hard on guys?’ It’s because I spend time with them. They know. They know that I know what’s best for them. I picture Lawrence exactly like that. I don’t know if you can be like that exactly in pro ball, but people have to respect that at any level. I can’t imagine him saying anything off the cuff; it’s all been well thought out.”"
