Izzo and Heathcote now are tied atop the Michigan State record book with 340 vic

Long before Jud Heathcote left Michigan State in 1995, he made sure veteran assistant Tom Izzo was hired as his successor.
Izzo and Heathcote now are tied atop the Michigan State record book with 340 victories after the No. 2 Spartans’ 90-60 win over Valparaiso on Sunday.
It’ll give the old friends something to discuss Sunday night, when Heathcote was to be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City.
Izzo, in his 15th season at Michigan State, has a 340-137 record highlighted by the 2000 national championship. He was an assistant to Heathcote before taking over the program.
