Tom Izzo’s wins keep adding up, and now there’s a bobblehead to keep count.
To commemorate the MSU men’s basketball head coach becoming the winningest in Big Ten history, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a limited-edition Tom Izzo Win Counter Bobblehead on Friday.
An officially licensed MSU collectible, the interactive figure allows fans to manually update both Izzo’s total career wins and his Big Ten victories — a fitting tribute to a coach whose success has defined MSU men’s basketball for three decades.
"With Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo leading the way, the Spartans have been one of the most successful programs in the history of men’s college basketball," museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a release.
Izzo will donate his portion of the proceeds to scholarships for MSU men’s basketball’s student managers, according to the release.
Where to buy, price and availability
The Tom Izzo bobbleheads are available for $40 plus an $8 flat-rate shipping charge through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,025 and expected to ship in August.
The bobbleheads are available online at this link.
What does the bobblehead look like?
The bobblehead features Izzo with his fist raised, holding an MSU-branded basketball while standing on a court-like base. The front of the base displays "COACH IZZO" along with a manual win counter, allowing fans to track every MSU victory. The back includes a second counter to update his Big Ten wins total, a nod to his new record.
Izzo became the Big Ten’s all-time wins leader on Feb. 15, when MSU toppled Illinois in Champaign for his 354th career conference victory, surpassing Indiana Hoosiers legend Bob Knight. Three weeks later, the Spartans clinched their first outright Big Ten title since 2018, securing Izzo’s 11th conference championship with a 91-84 comeback win at Iowa.
MSU has now won six straight games, positioning itself as the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and a projected No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
