In five seasons with Clarkson, Anderson posted a 67–66 overall record before taking the head coaching position at Hamilton College.[3] While at Hamilton, Anderson compiled a 118–63 record over seven seasons, which included three UCAA regular season titles and a bid to the 2006 NCAA Division III tournament. After the 2011 season, Anderson joined the coaching staff of Siena under Mitch Buonaguro, where he stayed for two seasons before accepting the head coaching position at St. Thomas Aquinas.[4]
While with the Spartans, Anderson put together a 209–62 overall record, including five East Coast Conference regular season titles and six ECC tournament titles, reaching the NCAA Division II tournament in seven-straight seasons, including the Elite Eight in 2017.[1] Under Anderson, St. Thomas Aquinas also defeated Division I St. John's 90–58 in an exhibition contest in 2015.[5]
On May 3, 2022, Anderson was named the eighth men's basketball coach in Fairleigh Dickinson history, replacing Greg Herenda.[6][7]
