Understanding Michigan State is found on the road back to Minneapolis

The Michigan State team bus rolled by the jet-black spaceship parked beside MN-55 just over five months ago. U.S. Bank Stadium is an enormous mass of angles and glass and sharp dimensions. It is impossible to miss.

About Doug Wojcik


Doug Wojcik began his college basketball career at the United States Naval Academy, where he played point guard alongside future 10-time NBA All Star David Robinson. In 1986, David Robinson turned over his Colonial Athletic Association MVP Award to Wojcik, citing his unselfish play and leadership abilities.

As a senior, Wojcik received the Coaches' Calvert Award, presented by the Naval Academy Athletic Association to recognize a graduating varsity athlete who displayed leadership, consistent effort, loyalty and dedication to the sport, and who had taken their ability beyond the expectations of the coach, peers and themselves. From these early days, Wojcik knew his trajectory would be to continue leading, mentoring, and coaching in the sport he loves.

Wojcik now has more than 30 years of experience as a college basketball coach. Currently, Wojcik is the Associate Head Coach for Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. A Division I head coach for nine years, Wojcik averaged 20 wins per season while compiling an overall record of 178-121 (.595), and an overall conference record of 88-58 (.602). In addition to his teams’ success on the court, all 21 of Wojcik’s senior student-athletes earned their degrees, achieving a nine-year graduation rate of 100 percent.  

In the last seven seasons, Michigan State has won three Big Ten regular season championships (2019, 2020, 2025), the 2019 Big Ten tournament championship, advanced to the 2019 NCAA Final Four, the 2023 NCAA Sweet 16, and the 2025 Elite Eight. The Spartans have also extended their consecutive NCAA tournament streak to 27 years (2nd longest in the nation). In the 2024-2025 season, Wojcik was named Big Ten Howard Moore Assistant Coach of the Year while Tom Izzo became the Big Ten All Time leader in conference wins.
