Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Tom Izzo says he’s never met Pistons owner Tom Gores, blames media
Izzo on 1130 The Fan:
I’m upset with the media, because somebody’s sitting in the basement making up stuff. And it’s embarrassing to me. It’s embarrassing to me for the Detroit Pistons. When it comes on a across a headline “Tom Izzo says he has no interest” or whatever, that wasn’t even the case. The problem is nobody’s even talked to me. I get all these things. “I know you’ve talked to this person.” “I know you’ve talked to that person.” Because that makes it look embarrassing, like the Pistons have called me, and said something, and I’ve said I had no interest. First of all, nobody has contacted me in any way, shape or form. I don’t have an agent, so they can’t go through my agent. It’s just so ridiculous. Somebody can just make it up. And that’s the Twitter generation. You wonder why I don’t like it.
First of all, to media out there that started that thing, shame on you.
I’ve never met or talked to Tom Gores. I have a great respect has done. I pull for the Pistons every day. I feel for what Joe Dumars is going through. Never once met or talked to him. So, all the all the people who tell me how many times I’ve talked to him or done this, to be very blunt about it, Matt, it gets sickening.

Sam Amick of USA Today reported yesterday Gores is expected to pursue Izzo, which set off the latest round of Izzo-to-Pistons analysis. That echoes a report by Stephen A. Smith of ESPN last month, when he said Gores was interested in Izzo.
But neither said the Pistons have contacted Izzo.

Update: Izzo spoke with Dan Patrick about this issue, saying “I have no interest in coaching the Detroit Pistons right now.” Those last two words make all the difference.

Izzo is currently making about $3,745,769 per year, which is about what NBA coaches are making.

I can't see Izzo bolting for the Pistons without getting a significant pay increase.
