EAST LANSING, Mich. — Keon Coleman had a difficult time watching college basketball this season.
It’s not because he lost his love of the game, but Coleman made a decision in late December that he needed to put his focus where it belonged — on the football field.
The football field is where, after all, the Michigan State wide receiver stood out last season — he caught 58 passes for 798 yards and seven touchdowns — and has a chance to play at the professional level. So, as he spent a week back at basketball practice with plans to play a second season on Tom Izzo’s team all while recuperating from a hip injury that hampered him at times in the fall, Coleman realized he needed to decide what was his priority.
