No, unless they win the national championship.  College basketball coaches rarely retire unless they have to.

If Izzo didn't 'retire' with D'Antonio and the AD after all the sexual assault/misconduct cases came to light, he's not leaving until he can't physically coach anymore or somehow they get bad and start missing NCAA's on the regular.

Is Izzo going to retire after this year? Thoughts.

Zero chance. Icon status is a hell of a drug, particularly when you’re still at the stage where literally no one is calling for it.

Michigan State is projected to be too good next year for him to retire.

Tell ya what, short of a deep IU run, there is nothing I can enjoy more right now than pointing out to Mizzou fans of my acquaintance that I told them over and over how good a hire Gates was as they were whining about wanting “a Guy.” One just called me insufferable.

Yup

Yup

Not gonna find my quote, but from 2021:

”I like Gates.”

I doubt it. I think his exit will be similar to Boeheim's. "I won't retire, you have to fire me."

Speaking of Boeheim, I didn't know he hit and killed a pedestrian in 2019. I missed that news.

That was a big deal at the time of when that story came out.

Kenya’s son has 16 and and 4 3’s for Ohio. Toledo up 1 early in the second half

Tennessee continues to uphold my expectation of ‘don’t trust them in any game of consequence’.

They were my darkhorse Final Four team last year, even though they've never made it to one. They lost in the second round to a 13-loss Michigan team. Some programs just never figure out March.

Still think next week is better but man as I get older I enjoy this weekend just as much 

[Uspshoosier]

Duke up 3 with 10 min to go 

Penn St/Northwestern in OT 

A&M up 2 over Arkansas 

Kansas up 5 

Marquette up 2 with 50 sec to go.    
 

Delivering

Marquette wins it.    What a game.    That was a battle.  Terrible last shot by UConn 

[Hovadipo]

That game turned into a whole-azz rock fight at the end.

Definitely should have called a timeout with 8 seconds left
