After taking over the program at Anderson University in July 1997, Simpson was able to reestablish the tennis program to national prominence with two trips to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and six consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament berths. His men’s team at Anderson dominated the now Conference Carolina’s with a 65-5 conference record, which included four regular-season and three tournament conference championships in six years of conference play. During this time Simpson was named Conference Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2004, Region Coach of the Year in 2001 and South Carolina Coach of the Year in 2002.

During his five years at Lander, Simpson has posted a 78-33 record with the men's team including a 28-11 Peach Belt Conference record. Simpson started the women's program in 2007 and their four-year record is 42-41.
