Stephen Louis Fisher (born March 24, 1945) is an American basketball coach. Fisher has served as the head coach at the University of Michigan, where he won the national championship in 1989, and was an assistant at Michigan, Western Michigan University, and the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association. From 1999 to 2017, Fisher was head coach at San Diego State.
Fisher attended Illinois State University, where he helped lead the Redbirds to the Final Four of the 1967 NCAA College Division Men's Basketball Tournament.
Fisher moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1982 and took an assistant coaching job at the University of Michigan after serving as an assistant coach at Western Michigan University since 1979. In 1989, during the final week of the regular season, Michigan head coach Bill Frieder agreed to take the coaching job at Arizona State University beginning the next season. Though Frieder intended to coach Michigan through the end of the 1989 NCAA tournament and told athletic director Bo Schembechler that he would stay to coach the team in the tournament, Schembechler responded, "The hell you will!" He immediately fired Frieder and announced that Fisher would be promoted to replace him. When announcing the promotion of Fisher, Schembechler famously said, "I don't want someone from Arizona State coaching the Michigan team. A Michigan man is going to coach Michigan."
