Tom Anastos Steps Down; Michigan State Hockey Coaching Candidates; Jason Ruff; Detroit Pistons; Adam Silver.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" it's the end of an era for MSU hockey, and it's the beginning of a new one that many fans welcome. Now former head coach Tom Anastos announced on Tuesday that he was stepping down from the position, and it's a move that's agreeable for the Current Sports staff. Al notes what led to Anastos' departure, and Impact Sports MSU Hockey writer Jason Ruff details what the future could hold for the Spartan hockey team. The Detroit Pistons aren't necessarily trending up, either. Al and engineer Isaac Constans give diagnosis on the problems that the roster currently faces. Finally, what is the solution of dealing with NBA teams who rest players, or is there even one? That's a matter that is reviewed to cap off an exhilarating hour.
