Brian Dutcher, who spent nine seasons as an assistant with the Michigan Wolverines, has reached the Final Four as head coach of San Diego State.

In his postgame interview after beating Creighton, Dutcher spoke fondly of his former boss Steve Fisher, who was the head coach at Michigan for nine seasons and at San Diego State for 18.

“Coach, no one believed in us all those years ago, and here we are, Final Four,” Dutcher said. “Thanks for starting a great foundation and letting me take over.”
