Iowa basketball just misses on highly sought-after assistant
The Iowa Hawkeyes continue to build out their coaching staff and new roster under head coach Ben McCollum, but with that comes competing against other programs across the country for the same talent. Sometimes the Hawkeyes are going to be left on the outside looking in and that is such the case with a highly sought-after assistant coach with quite the NCAA Tournament resume that McCollum was trying to land. Advertisement Former Fairleigh Dickinson and Iona head coach Tobin Anderson hit the market this year after leading Iona to a 17-17 record and has already found footing elsehwere. As reported by Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, Anderson is joining the staff at USF as the lead assistant while leaving Iowa on the outside looking in. Tobin Anderson has quite the resume, and it is highlighted by a large exclamation point during his one-year tenure at Fairleigh Dickinson. He led the program to the NCAA Tournament, where they pulled off one of the most improbable upsets in March Madness history. Anderson led No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson to a win over the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers to join an exclusive club with UMBC as the only two No. 16 seeds to win an NCAA Tournament game.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) — New Orleans Pelicans assistant Dan Geriot was named coach at Iona on Thursday, three days after Tobin Anderson was fired following two years in the job as the replacement for Rick Pitino. The 36-year-old Geriot was in his 10th season as an NBA assistant, nine years with the Cleveland Cavaliers and one with the Pelicans. He played at Richmond from 2006-11 and began his coaching career as an assistant at Princeton and Campbell. The Gaels finished this season 17-17 and reached the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship game. They were 16-17 in Anderson's first season. ___ AP March Madness bracket: and coverage: Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. The Associated Press

Iona fires Tobin Anderson just two years after he replaced Rick Pitino as the school's coach
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — Iona fired Tobin Anderson just two years after he replaced Rick Pitino as the school's coach. The Gaels made the announcement after losing in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship game and missing out on an NCAA Tournament bid. Iona was the No. 4 seed and knocked off top-seeded Quinnipiac in the semifinals before falling to No. 6 Mount St. Mary's 63-49 in the title game. That dropped the Gaels to 17-17 this season after they went 16-17 in Anderson's first season. 'We appreciate Tobin and everything he has done for our program,' athletic director Matthew Glovaski said in a statement. 'He has been a valuable member of our Iona community. With the impact of NIL changing college basketball in ways no one could have imagined, Iona feels the need to shift the direction of our men's basketball program. This requires an overhaul of our entire business model and program structure.' Pitino returned Iona to the top of the MAAC, leading the Gaels to two NCAA Tournament appearances in his three seasons before leaving for St. John's, which won the Big East championship and earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament in just his second season. Anderson got the job to replace him after engineering one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history, when Fairleigh Dickinson beat Purdue in 2023 for just the second victory by a No. 16 seed over a No. 1 in the men's field.
