Steve Fisher retires as SDSU men’s basketball head coach

The show has ended for Steve Fisher.

After 18 seasons atop the Mesa, San Diego State men’s basketball’s celebrated head coach has stepped down, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The program is holding a news conference tomorrow to officially announce his retirement and introduce Brian Dutcher as his replacement. Dutcher has been a part of Fisher’s staff since 1989, when he was brought in as an associate head coach at the University of Michigan. He has formally held the title “head coach in waiting” since the 2011 season.

While he still has a season left on his three-year extension he signed in 2014, Fisher wasn’t sure if he would return to the program the following year.
