Tom Izzo was starting to wonder if he was cut out for his job. The long-time Spartan basketball assistant was in his first season as MSU’s head coach in 1995 and the Breslin Student Events Center was only half-full for home games. Fans were trying to figure out if he was the team’s problem or the answer after a losing streak dropped MSU’s record down to .500. In the middle of Sunday morning practice, Izzo was looking at the faces of his players, searching for a way out of MSU’s slump when he heard somebody pounding on the Breslin Center door. The coach scaled the steps of the arena racking his mind for someone who would have the audacity to disrupt his practice. And there was the culprit. The winningest coach in college hockey history, Ron Mason, peering through the glass door and into the concourse. Mason had been at MSU for 17 years, almost longer than Izzo had been out of college.

Michigan is the only state not complying with the requirement that took effect in October, said Pam Carte,r of the U.S.
