YPSILANTI --  Rob Murphy has gone from a kid who grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Detroit, to becoming a Division 1 Head Men's Basketball Coach at Eastern Michigan University. DEEP The Life of Rob Murphy chronicles Murphy's remarkable career, which includes the obstacles and circumstances that led to his unforeseen path. Throughout the book, Murphy shares valuable life lessons that allowed him to defy the odds and become the basketball powerhouse that he is today. In telling his story with truth and confidence, he provides a surge of inspiration for all. "You can't control where you came from but you can decide where you're going," said Murphy. 

Deep is now available at www.robmurphyfoundation.org. Proceeds from DEEP help raise money for the Rob Murphy Foundation, which serves thousands of under-privilaged youth in Detroit and Ypsilanti communities.
