Tom Izzo revealed that the Phoenix Suns approached him with an offer to become the team’s head coach, he said in comments published on Thursday.
Izzo did not indicate whether he seriously considered the proposal or when the approach took place. The Suns have made several coaching changes in recent years, but the organization has not publicly addressed Izzo’s statement.
Izzo remains under contract at the collegiate level and has previously been linked to NBA opportunities without making a move.
