UNC’s Final Four Dream Threatened by Coaching Crisis — Kansas Knows the High Stakes All Too Well
Michigan knows what it’s like for a coach to spurn it. When Bill Frieder accepted the Arizona State job ahead of the 1989 NCAA Tournament, Bo Schembechler promptly booted Frieder and promoted Steve Fisher, explaining his decision with the now-famous line that, “A Michigan man is going to coach Michigan.”
The lesson Frieder provided: If you’re leaving for another job, maybe don’t tell anyone until the NCAA Tournament is finished.
Worked out great for Michigan. Fisher led the Wolverines to a national championship.
