Let's see......Izzo, 22 years at Michigan State........22 trips to the NCAA tournamenst........7 trips to the Final Four.......what was the question again?......

I never root for anything from Michigan but I like coaches like Izzo. When I started reading about how he was over the top in his ripping this kid I had to go watch the clip and the game leading up to the scolding. What a bunch of soft people we have in this country. Soft parenting, soft coaching, ... leads to college kids looking for “safe spaces.” Gee whiz ...

That's exactly what it is. And the best coaches know their players. You don't necessarily take the same approach with every player because they all react differently. But the telling thing is from Izzo's ex-players was them saying if he doesn't yell at you it means he doesn't care which no player wants.

Did you play sports growing up? I did and like most people I had many different kinds of coaches with different philosophies. But a couple of the best I had were hard *sses but they cared about you. I saw it then and I especially see it in hindsight. They got on me because they cared and they wanted to see me do the best I could.
Is it fun being yelled at? No, it's not. But I'd rather than a coach who doesn't care and doesn't push you.

And in a lot of cases self defeating. I know kids who give up on sports cause they hated their Coach cause they took the fun completely out of playing sports. There’s a time to pat someone on the back and a time to kick their ass but you know as an educator that positive reinforcement and peer pressure are far better motivators than negative reinforcement.
It’s something I’ve learned about leadership and it’s why so many businessmen, successful businessmen at that, really suck at leadership. Fear is the only method of leadership they know and that one trick poney don’t ride.
