A trophy-winning season that has now reached the Sweet 16 means a little extra cash for Tom Izzo. The Michigan State coach already earned $200,000 in performance bonuses this month with $450,000 still up for grabs.

Junior point guard Tre Holloman, along with Kohler, was a freshman during Michigan State’s last Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2023. While the overtime loss to Kansas State still stings in the back of fans’ minds, Holloman is using that experience to lead his team as a captain two seasons later.

When Tom Izzo looks down his bench, he doesn’t simply see new assistants. He gets a glimpse of his coaching past at Michigan State basketball.
