Steve Fisher retires from SDSU

[Buffnik]

I was starting to think he would coach forever. Gonna be very interesting to see if the Aztec program has staying power or if it was all Fisher.

Also, I think this could be very good for CU and the Pac-12. SDSU was recruiting with the Pac-12 under Fisher and it's hard to see that continuing. The only non-P5 programs in the west that should still challenge that dominance in hoops recruiting are UNLV (if it gets its act together) and Gonzaga.

I worked at the (then Clarion) Harvest House in 1991 when Michigan came to town to play the Buffs in the NIT. I set up a lunch buffet for the team the day of the game. I remember telling my friends later that I thought Steve Fisher was a dick, but I can't for the life of remember why. That is my story. How'd you like it?

I delivered a pizza to Kirk Heinrik at the old Ramada Inn on the Frontage Road. I had to walk by a bunch of Kansas fans who were sitting around the indoor pool to get to his room. They smugly asked if I had seen the game and I told them I had listened to it on the radio and that I hoped they had a nice drive home to Kansas.

I don't think they have staying power without him, but I also have Torero tinted glasses.

Aztecs have promoted LONG TIME Steve Fisher Assistant Brian Dutcher. (Never heard of this title, yet alone being used for so long, but he has formally been the "Assoc. Head Coach/ Head Coach In Waiting" since the 2011/12 season (per http://www.goaztecs.com/sports/m-baskbl/bio-Dutcher-Brian.html).

Dutcher has been with Fisher since Michigan. He was fairly prominant in recruiting the fab 5.

I wonder with this news, if there is any chance to get Kell or Hemsley as a transfer. Figure it's a longshot, but Hemsley in particular liked CU to some extent.
