Was Tom Izzo out of line for screaming at a freshman?

I find it absolutely hilarious that these guys are telling a GOOD coach how to coach

Gregg popovich one of the greatest coaches ever still yells at his players

Rob sounds like someone who’s never played high school or high level sports

The only problem I had with Izzo was the closed fist when he was arguing with his player. Other than that this was a man who cried a couple years ago when his senior players were graduating this notion he doesn’t respect his players is ludicrous

You know it's bad when one of university of Michigan's players defended Tom Izzo.

Greg Popovich, Bill Belichick and Nick Saban all yell at their players. Not every coaches the same and it doesn't mean one way is better than the other

I’m trying hard to see what’s the issue and I just don’t see it🤷🏾‍♂️

I think izzo did nothing wrong. People complain about this but are okay when players fight each other and just a game or two suspension. It’s as if they knew nothing about izzo the man loves his players. Like someone else said all of his ex players are defending him. Like come on now.

0:39 fire somebody.

No. Man y'all got to stop being so damn soft.

Show Rob Parker the video tape of Bobby Knight 🤷🏾‍♂️

Izzo was 💯 correct it's 1 and done there is not tomorrow.

People need to realize that players respond to different things. People become better with harshness and people also play worse with it. If the coach doesn't know how the player responds to words and he yelled at him out of frustration then he was wrong

I agree with skip from the standpoint that it was really about Izzo. He was upset that he nearly lost a first round game in the midst of several years of underachieving

They all hugged after this episode.

Rob Parker is soft.

This shouldn't have been a news. Soft generation. SMH.

When one of these kids choke Izzo out ppl gonna say the kid is wrong 🤦🏾‍♂️

Rob 'I talk with spit in my mouth' Parker = Soft!

I guess rob ain’t never played any sport

This is nonsense. Izzo was coaching with passion. In today’s political media, white coach, black player, a receipt for getting more clicks... Sad times we live in.

I've never seen so much ignorant hate for Izzo, who gives his players the same right to come at him and speak their mind. The fact that yall ignore alumni defending Izzo is clear yall want to push this agenda.

The coaching is good until you go Latrell then you are out of line

Damn you should’ve brought Rob Parker on for a Lebron topic. He called the Lakers not making the playoffs months ago

This is why the NBA is becoming terrible because you can’t say anything to AAU players, High school players, or college players!

You can just tell Rob Parker never played sports in his life

Disappointed in this take from EVERYONE on set. Especially being on Fox! How ESPN get it right and y’all go soft

I love my man Rob but I gotta disagree with him here. Players need tough love sometimes

These guys are out of their minds. It's just insane that they're condemning him for yelling at a player.

Rob Parker is the goat of talk shows

This is nothing compared to Bobby Knight

Yeah I want my boss to yell and raise a fist at me at work more often.

Only reason its a story . Because its on video._.. This story softer than drake

It's almost April, when's Rob Parker going to Mexico

Dude me and my homie hav worse arguements than that daily lmaooo

NON ATHLETES telling folks that the coach was wrong. Funny.

How soft are we

I agree with Parker that the yelling is not coaching. Good coaching and good teaching does not require yelling. When we yell it means we're out of ideas.

Russel Westbrook goes 100 mph every game every second. Idk what Shannon is talking about lol

Now imagine if that freshman had done the same thing. If you know you’d have a problem with a player acting like that then It’s a problem when the coach does it.

People get called soft cause they dont wanna get treated like dirt

Bobby knight did this twice a yr at texas tech and indiana he fought hall famer isaiah thomas and hes consider a legend

When they start a segment with words Rob Parker, its doomed!

Jenny says these discussions are important to have. What are we going to do about it though

Rob Parker automatically = Dislike I'm mad I even had to click on the video to give it the Dislike..

Izzo may care about his guys, but the other players and coaches had to hold him back from his kid. There's a difference between tough love and verbally attacking an athlete. There are other ways to really coach your athlete

He definitely wouldn't want this on his highlight reel great point rob

It's just coach being coach until it's your 18 yr old

How many people here HATE Rob Parker

Rob Parker, u Charmin soft

If that player yelled at Izzo like that it’d be unacceptable. Players are expected to talk to coaches with respect. Coaches should be held to the same expectations

It's not a secret he's being doing this for years, if you don't want to play for a coach that has expectations you have plenty of other top schools in the country to attend and get coddled.

Imagine if Izzo yelled at that same player on the street and wonder if Izzo doesn't get beat down. Izzo used his position to terrorize his player. Man to man he doesn't even have the balls to do that in any other setting. Cowardly man.

Show me some tape of Rob Parker ballin

Rob nailed it on this one.

The lunging was the only thing out of line . As a former athlete if a coach lunged at me we gotta scrap

Society is getting soft

You can always tell who never really played sports lmao

Rob Parker.. stop it

Wow, Rob Parker finally got it. Agreed, Izzo did too much this time. Izzo should sincerely apologize to him and the team. We are all humans and make mistakes, coaches included.

I have no problem with coaches coaching aggressively, but anytime the other players feel the need like to step in between the two in order to restrain the coach, that's going to far. This doesn't happen in the next level in the NBA, so it really shouldn't escalate to this level in college at all.

It was nothing more than the typical Izzo actions. He's yelled at MULTIPLE athletes when underperformed, some open handed some closed fist. If you cant take the intensity go play at a lower level point blank.

Why are they acting like Tom Izzo is the only coach who stills yells at players?Coach Popovich yell at his players all the time but yet no one calls him out. Another thing I don’t understand is why does the media all of sudden have a problem with coach Izzo with yelling at his players .I have been a Michigan state fan for 15 years in almost every game I have watch coach Izzo has yell at his players about something.Why are they now just calling him out for it?

Rob Parker: show me the tape of coach k, dean Smith yelling at players Not all coaches coach the same way since when has being tough on kids been a bad thing. Rob parker Never fails to bring up race

SAWFT if you can't handle your coach yelling at you to improve you, you will never stand a minute against an opponent who trash talks you 48 minutes

Good job coach!!!!

Let’s act like Rob Parker has credibility.

Thanks for confirming you've never played sports in your life Rob lmao

I agree with Rob Parker because it's an easy solution: sit the player down and go to him and tell him he cannot get on the court unless he hustles. Parker was right about the P.J./Spreewell situation... these coaches, for the most part, are sadistic psychotic people who love to prey on young athletic men using power, influence, money, connections, and opportunities in exchange for this type of foolishness. This was great it happened because everyone can see the truth of coaching in general who have no idea how to lead or influence people positively... most coaches (just look at them) are crazy because of the pressure and responsibilities they have, especially at the high school/college level with smaller pay... it's just way too much for them to expect not to lose their minds or cool when the pressure gets to them - it happens but this had more to do with understanding than a mad Izzo... just make sure the player understands but why was he in the game if he doesn't understand?

everyone needs to go and watch scott van pelt and chris carters explanation rn

It’s obvious you never played a sport. What coach doesn’t apply tough love at times? Not every coaching style are the same.

Y’all saying the NBA soft damn what are y’all LMAO

Stop yelling in like 2 min in and I’m leaving the video lol. Jesus.

Preach my man

So college professors should start yelling at math students ? Stop making excuses for lack of self control.

Cant believe I agree with Rob Parker...

Tell Rob Parker that Michigan St is playing in the Final Four on Saturday.

These aren't kids they are adults they need to be able to handle being yelled at.

Not surprised that coaches do this to their players nowadays

Honestly from a professional standpoint that I believe that Tom Izzo is 100% Right for what he needed to do as the Head Coach of the team.

Fifteen years ago this would not even be news. Society has changed.

They all nailed it

The media is soft, but at the same time I'm happy it's a white man getting this criticism.

If you're coach ain't screaming at you, he doesn't care for you anymore. Simple as that.

Damn.....😲Rob Parker going off👍😎

Well damn! Knight brought a whip to practice? I knew about the choking but not a whip!

Can somebody please link me to a time when Rob Parker said something valuable?

If that kid had defended himself and socked izzo for lunging at him not once but twice the NCAA would be losing their mind right now.

MSU coach yells, wins game. Bradley coach doesn’t yell, loses game. 🤷‍♂️

Why is Rob Parker ALWAYS on the wrong side of the argument?

Kids are not soft

3:07 the media not soft you soft

I got cursed out in AAU He ain’t out of line

It’s like anyone can be a analyst, some of these people know absolutely nothing

Y’all just hating on izzo smh

I just saw the clip and there was a video talking about this particular incident while showing other clips of him doing the same at other times. The reason that the people who are having a problem with what happened with Henry is mainly due to the appearance of it. Watching the video that was showing several other clips, if you pay attention instead of just focusing on how Tom Izzo looks when he's doing it, you'll see that the players are able to argue back with Izzo. This isn't a typical coach screams at a player and the player has to be silent and just take it. The players are free to voice their input. And what you'll also see if you pay attention is that Tom Izzo does immediately calm down, usually, when he makes whatever point he's trying to make. I know the incident with Henry continued in the huddle. But even in the huddle, you see that the team has the kind of relationship that Henry can voice his side. The other players can voice their side when they are trying to get Izzo to calm down. The relationship that Izzo has with his players and what the players feel about the coach/player dynamic is a lot deeper than your typical outside viewer is going to pick up on. Now, the look on his face plus the bags under Izzo's eyes aren't helping. And the bags really are making him look crazy. But there's a saying, "what are the optics", or it might be "the optics are everything". But the gist of it is that nowadays people are swayed so easily, and people don't really look beyond how something appears than to look for what actually is happening. Such as the look on Izzo's face. They get that image, and they stop at that. They don't see the things I pointed out like the players are able to yell back. How quickly everyone calms down. How was Izzo the rest of the game? Did he flare up again? I like watching Mich State and I've seen Izzo flare up in a game. But it's hardly ever more than once. I didn't see this game, but I haven't heard talk of Izzo not putting the player back in the game. How many times would you expect a coach who had that kind of thing happen in a team huddle where the player could voice his side like that, take it out on a player by not putting them back in the game?

Rob Parker has OBVIOUSLY never played basketball before..all coaches do stuff like that

And the media obviously has zero respect for MSU

The Knight Izzo comparison isn't valid. You know who didnt get upset about the yelling?, the kid who got yelled at!
