Current Sports host Al Martin talks with MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo about where his team stands this season.

Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this past Summer. During his induction speech, he acknowledged his late father, who passed away at the age of 90 during the holiday season last year. Carl Izzo is the man who taught Tom how to be a man.

Current Sports host Al Martin talks with Tom Izzo about his late dad, and how his team is shaping up for the 2016-17 season.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
