So, the name Tobin Anderson started floating around, you know? I first caught wind of it during all that basketball craziness back in March. Didn’t really register much at the start, just another coach’s name buzzing about.
Then I actually found myself watching one of the games. It was that Fairleigh Dickinson team he was coaching. Honestly, I flipped it on kinda randomly, wasn’t expecting anything major. Just background noise while I was doing other stuff.
Watching That Game
But man, I got sucked in. These guys weren’t giants, didn’t have the flashy reputation, but they were playing their hearts out. Total underdogs. I kept noticing Anderson on the sideline. He wasn’t just standing there; the guy was super animated, looked like he was coaching every single dribble and pass. Intense.
- They were scrappy on defense.
- They played fast, really pushed the ball.
- You could just tell they believed they belonged there.
It wasn’t just running around wild, though. Seemed like there was a real plan. Anderson had them pressing, trying to force mistakes. It was actually exciting to watch, seeing that kind of energy against a powerhouse team. Made me sit up and pay attention.
What I Thought Afterwards
After the game finished, I kinda thought about it. It was impressive seeing a team play like that, especially when nobody gave them a shot. Made me look up a little bit about Anderson. Turns out he’d been coaching for a long time, grinding away at different levels. Wasn’t some overnight thing.
It sort of reminded me, you know, that sometimes it ain’t about having all the five-star recruits or the biggest budget. It’s about the strategy, getting your team to buy in, and just plain old hard work. Seeing that FDU team coached by Tobin Anderson really showed what hustle and a good game plan can do. Pretty solid lesson right there, just from watching some basketball.
