As we all watched the biggest upset in NCAA history last year when No. 16 seed Farleigh Dickinson University pull off a Round of 64 upset for the ages stunning No. 1 Purdue 63-58 as coaches we can't help but think about the coaches leading their teams.
Most of us in coaching knew the coaches involved and those who know Coach Anderson were not surprised by the unbelievable confidence coach Anderson instilled in his team.
Prior to this game, Fairleigh Dickinson coach Tobin Anderson was captured on camera telling his team, "The more I watch Purdue, the more I think we can beat them." It turns out he was right. Fairleigh Dickinson defeated Purdue 63-58 in just the second instance of a No. 16 seed defeating a No. 1 seed in NCAA tournament history.
