NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) — Tobin Anderson is leaving NCAA Cinderella Fairleigh Dickinson after one fairy-tale season and replacing Rick Pitino at Iona. Iona athletic director Matt Glovaski announced the hiring of Anderson a day after Pitino left to take the job at St. John’s. Anderson led the No. 16 seed Knights to a win over No. 1 Purdue in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, only the second time a No. 16 seed has knocked off a top-seeded team. The Knights lost to Merrimack in the Northeast Conference Tournament title game but got the NCAA berth because Merrimack was ineligible to compete as a transitioning school from Division II.
