Kevin Ollie, who took over the program from Jim Calhoun right before the 2012-13 season, became the first coach to win a national title in his first NCAA Tournament since Steve Fisher in 1989.
Steve Fisher was of course at Michigan in 1989 with a team that featured Glen Rice and one of my personal favorites – Rumeal Robinson. Where you at, Rumeal? Oops, he’s in prison.
