I found myself kind of torn as I read the joint statement that Rob Murphy and Eastern Michigan will be parting ways after ten years. On one hand, I’m glad that he will be able to land on his feet with a position with the Detroit Pistons G-League team. I wish him all the success he can get there and I hope he does well.
Coach Murphy became the head coach of the Eastern Michigan basketball team in 2011. His first game was against Marygrove, which is a small school in Detroit. It was also an exhibition game.
