I have been reading posts all year.  I am a former player for Anderson when I was at Clarkson.  I was there when he took over the job for Walter Townes and turned the program around.  He is tough and comes across as cocky, but he knows his x's and o's and he recruits his ass off, this I know.  He is always looking for players and works hard.  He walked into a tough situation at Hamilton, but as a coach, if you have the opportunity to move up you take it.

No one should be bashing Murph or Tobin.  Coaching is their life.  They both work hard at it and they both are competitors.  I have a ton of respect for Murph and he has proven himself.  I think Tobin walked into a tough situation last year and proved himself this year, and he proved himself at Clarkson turning that program around.  He is the only coach in Clarkson Men's history to lead his team to post season bids and he did this three times.  This year anytime your team goes 22-4, you are doing something right.  And it is not all Murph's guys, Wood, Valentti and Jones are Tobins as everyone knows.  And if you look at the box scores, Nick Jones has come off the bench atleast six times this year.

Now as I said before Tobin can be cocky and truthfully we had our clashes at times, but ones this for sure, while I was at Clarkson every player that played for him did not always like him but they respected him.

Hopefully this nonsense will come to an end.  I like Murph and Tobin, but let's talk about the league and players, and stop beating this no win situation to death, because obviously former Hamilton players or alum are not gonna like anyone that took the job after murph.  It's like Mike Davis at Indiana, it was a not win situation.
