San Diego State University
Steve Fisher received the John R. Wooden Award “Legends of Coaching” honor in 2015. In 16 seasons at SDSU, Fisher has guided the Aztecs to eight NCAA tournament appearances, 11 postseason berths overall, nine Mountain West championships and 11 seasons of at least 20 wins, including the last 10 years. More recently, the 2011 National Coach of the Year has led San Diego State to the NCAA tournament six seasons in a row, including a pair of Sweet 16 appearances the last five years in 2011 and 2014. In 2011, the Aztecs captured the MW regular-season and tournament crowns en route to a 34-3 record and nearly duplicated the effort in 2014 by winning the conference regular season and posting a 31-5 record. In 2015, San Diego State reached at least the third round of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year and won an MW-best ninth conference championship.
