Steve Fisher did the unthinkable and the impractical at San Diego State

Posted Apr 24, 2017
For perspective on the unlikelihood of Steve Fisher, look at it this way: He is, far as I can tell, the only college basketball coach in history to move to a region he’d never previously lived in, take a coaching job 54 years into his life, then become a legend at that spot. But that’s what happened at San Diego State for Steve Fisher, a man who spent 50 years in basketball coaching, 26 as a head coach, the final 18 of them in San Diego. (CBS Sports)
