An adjustment to block-charge guidelines is the most significant rules tweak to emerge from this week’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee meetings in Indianapolis. If it and other changes are approved, as expected, on June 18 and put into effect next season, a defender will have to be set earlier, before an offensive player begins his upward motion to shoot or pass — not before the offensive player is in the air, as in the past.

Izzo grew particularly close to Payne last season, and the extra time the two spent together watching film on team flights had a direct impact on how and when Payne's game took off last season.

If athletic director Mark Hollis has his way, the next big Michigan State basketball event will be centered around a tribute to the mentor he shares with Tom Izzo. MSU is trying to put together a doubleheader to be played Dec. 7 at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Wash., featuring the four programs that are tied to Jud Heathcote, Hollis said today. MSU would play Gonzaga in one of the games, and Montana and Washington State would play in the other.

Tom Izzo laughed when asked if Adreian Payne's decision to return for his senior season turns the pressure up on him. "There's no pressure,'' said Izzo, who has led the Spartans to six Final Fours and won a national championship. "There's pressure if you lose players, not if you gain them.''
