Leaders of Change: Aztec Basketball Coach Steve Fisher

Leading a Team to Their Highest Potential
 

Coach Steve Fisher, 
Head Basketball Coach 
San Diego State University

Steve Fisher is beginning his 16th season as head coach of San Diego State University.

No head-coaching career, at any level, started quicker than that of Fisher. Six games into his head-coaching career with Michigan, he was undefeated and sporting a national championship ring. 

His accomplishments may be even greater at San Diego State. In 2001-02 he led the Aztecs to the postseason for the first time since 1985 and for just the fourth time ever. The 21 wins were second most for the school as a Division I program and the most since 1985. Those numbers came after just three seasons with the program.

He followed that up with a third consecutive season with a .500 or better record in 2002-03 and led SDSU back to the postseason for the second consecutive season for only the second time in the school’s Division I history. In addition, SDSU claimed its first Division I postseason victory with a win in the NIT.​
