Some may not agree but I think that's pretty classy for Izzo and K.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says there’s no doubt Calipari has Hall of Fame credentials.

“If you look at it, when you can win at Massachusetts, then go and win at Memphis, then the job he's done at Kentucky is unbelievable. He doesn't get enough credit for his coaching,” said Izzo Monday on the Final Four coaches teleconference

So does Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is in the Hall of Fame.

“That's why he's up for it. People aren't up for it unless people believe that he belongs. I think whether it happens this year, it will happen. Just like with (Wisconsin coach) Bo Ryan, they belong,” the Duke coach said.

“Look, they're all really the best of the best. It's really an honor for me to be in a Final Four with those three programs and those three coaches because they're all really good guys and they've all understood the commitment to excellence that a program needs to make.”
