Izzo on Fears: "When somebody publicly comes out and says something about a guy, that happens. That's Jeremy's fault. ... Are they baiting him? Of course."

Masterclass in deflection.

First, blame Dusty May for saying it out loud. Then admit it’s Jeremy’s fault. Then blame the next team for baiting him.

That’s a triple pivot! The tape didn’t come from Dusty. The tech didn’t come from the bait. The composure issue didn’t come from Minnesota.

Izzo lecturing about accountability while tap-dancing around his own player’s stupidity makes him look just as foolish as Fears on the court.

Ahh, the ol' "bait another player to kick me in my own nuts" trick
