Our Robyn Norwood catches us up on Steve Fisher, the former University of Michigan basketball coach now in his 12th season coaching at San Diego State. From her story:
SAN DIEGO - The flamboyant freshmen who were known as the Fab Five are the answers to a trivia question now.
"Chris Webber, Jalen Rose," said D.J. Gay, the point guard for Coach Steve Fisher's San Diego State Aztecs. "Glen Rice?"
Try Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson.
The famous freshmen are 37 years old. Only Howard still is playing, for the Miami Heat. Webber and Rose are television analysts. And Ed Martin, the former automobile worker whose payments to Webber and others led to NCAA probation for Michigan and the removal of the banners for the Fab Five's appearances in the 1992 and '93 NCAA title games, has been dead since 2003.
Fisher — who first rose to prominence at Michigan with a dizzying run to the 1989 NCAA championship after Bill Frieder was sacked as coach — is back in the spotlight at 65 in his 12th season at San Diego State.
