Episode 268: Tobin Anderson, Beating Purdue and the NCAA Tournament

Guest: Tobin Anderson, Iona Head Coach

Iona head coach Tobin Anderson joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on beating Purdue and the NCAA Tournament.

Tobin Anderson led the 2022-23 FDU squad to a 21-16 overall record and 10-6 in Northeast Conference play. The Knights earned the NEC's automatic bid and earned two wins in this year's NCAA Tournament, a First Four win over Texas Southern and a first-round win over the Boilermakers. It was just the second-ever win for a No. 16 seed over a No. 1 seed in tournament history. The year before Anderson's arrival, the Knights posted a 4-22 record.

Prior to FDU, Anderson had a highly successful coaching career at St. Thomas Aquinas. In nine seasons, he turned STAC into a perennial Top 25 program in Division II.
