In a stunning move, San Diego State has announced that long-time basketball coach Steve Fisher is stepping down as the head coach, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The Aztecs are making a smooth transition by promoting from within long-time assistant Brian Dutcher taking over. There will be a press conference introducing the Dutcher as the new head coach on Tuesday afternoon; he has been the “coach in waiting” since 2011.

Fisher became a head coach since taking over the Michigan program late in the 1989 season where he went 6-0 and led them to a national title. At UM, Fisher also coached the world-renowned “Fab Five” and led the Wolverines to pair of national title games in 1992 and 1993; both times Michigan ended up national runner-ups.

Fisher finishes with a 571-290 career record, six conference titles, 15 NCAA appearances, three Final Fours and won the national title in 1989 as the interim coach in Ann Arbor.

At San Diego State, Fisher led the Aztecs to six consecutive tournament appearances. In 2011, SDSU guard Kawhi Leonard was named consensus All-American.

Fisher has been the head coach at San Diego State since the 1999-2000 season where he won just five games in his initial year, but he slowly built the Aztecs into a great college basketball program.

Fisher quickly turned around the Aztecs with amazing defense which led to six conference regular season championships, eight NCAA appearances and made it to the Sweet 16 twice.

This past year there was a decline where San Diego State took a step back with just 19 wins, but overall he did amazing things at San Diego State by winning 65 percent of his games.
