Strike while the iron is hot.

I’d have to be getting a really big salary bump to move into Rick Pitino’s old office.

Yea make sure to swap out the desk chair and couch. Difficult to get all the stripper juice out

 

[D Able_rivals]

This is a great fit!

 

[fatsam98]

Wow, good for him

 

[RUPete]

Good hire for them. But man, FDU gets five minutes in the sun then back to square one.

I found this headline very amusing the when I first saw it.
Not it's even funnier.

Maybe he didn't mean momentum at FDU?

Well, he's definitely building on his momentum.

It's a very truthful headline. It doesn't say "we" or "FDU" vow to build on momentum. It says "Tobin Anderson vows to build on momentum." If anyone captured that momentum it was Tobin!

 

[bac2therac]

the bottom line is St Peters and FDU will continue to struggle overall despite their tourney success.

 

[Mr_Twister]

If he were patient, he’d wait to see if Fran McCaffery takes the Notre Dinero job. Iowa is no doubt his dream job.

 

[BigEastPhil]

I wonder how the poor Merrimack HC feels. He wins the NEC and due to a pathetic rule - can’t play in NCAA tourney and now the coach he defeated has made a much better life for himself !

 

[ru66]

This is so crappy for these schools.
You get a minute in the the sun in exchange for a long bout of pain. And for a school like Iona,you have no where to go but to jump on a coach who was just a div 2 guy second ago . No matter what some say , thank God we're in the Big Ten.

Tobin is the the better coach. Won on every level. All he needed was a chance at the D1 level. He was not long for FDU. Pretty much beat Purdue with a dII squad.

If we made a miracle run to the Final Four, other schools would be dumping truckloads of cash on Pike's lawn. We'd be in the same exact boat.

Doubt it for a host of reasons but in any event we have the resources and the league to attract a replacement. We're not Fdu or Iona by any strech.

 

[MadRU]

Castleberry takes over at FDU

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

How many of these one year wonders succeed at their next school? Not many.

"Fame, if you win it, comes and goes in a minute".

 

[MADHAT1]

Nice,turned his one year at FDU into moving up a step on the coaching ladder.
His success at Division II St.Thomas Aquinas (209–62) makes him look like a good gamble.

The expecations are always pretty low, so maybe struggling needs to be put into context.

Game. Set. Match!

Lolol

 

[Rokodesh]

says online he was making 40k per year at FDU? Can't be right? Can't even afford a 1 bedroom here on that salary.

Depends who you’re married to.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Dude talks fast and moves up the coaching ladder just as fast.

Tobin is 51 and has been a head coach for 18 years.

You mean like Lance Leipold ?

Guy spends a year in Teaneck and now he's worried about hygiene?

 

[kupuna133]

Similar resume. Actually Tobin has more head coaching experience.

 

[dconifer0]

I’m happy for the dude, but honestly, I get a chuckle when these coaches turn a hot game or two in the tournament into a big payday. He didn’t become Mike Krzyzewski overnight.

Good for him, though…

Tobin was Iona’s choice to be head coach 3 years ago until Pitino through his name in the ring.

Cool, I guess I am being too cynical today…
