An Angry Tom Izzo Snapped His Whiteboard in Half and College Hoops Fans Had Jokes

The Michigan State coach made this look way too easy.

Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo has never been one to shy away from showing his emotions—for good or bad—during games. He’s got a quick temper and he’s not afraid to let anyone know when he’s not cool with things. 

That happened again during the Spartans’ first-round men’s NCAA tournament matchup against USC on Friday. Izzo wasn’t happy with the officials midway through the second half of a close game and he expressed that anger by breaking his whiteboard in half. And I must say—his form on this destruction was pretty darn impressive.

Excellent form from Izzo to keep both halves of the whiteboard and marker off the court. https://t.co/E39hGisBEV
