Watching a re-run of CBS Sports Home Court with Brian Dutcher, and kept telling myself how lucky we are to have Dutch as the HC. What a great father, friend, coach, and person. When Fisher took the SDSU job and said to Dutch, "Promise me that you'll spend three years with me." and came to SDSU in 1999, was the AHC and HC in waiting until 2017, and was named our HC 7 years ago at age 58. 32 years as an assistant, that's a long time to wait. After 7 years he has 175 wins, 57 loses winning 75.5% of his games. Let's win on Friday versus UAB. You can't say enough about Coach Dutcher (Fisher either). Pure class and a great coach in addition. That winning percentage is the best in Aztec basketball history. Those who love to criticize Dutcher should read this this little gem from the UT on March 15th:
"Dutcher has a .609 winning percentage against teams ranked in the Associated Press poll in his seven seasons as head coach, best in the nation among those with at least 20 games. Next on the list are Kansas (.602), Virginia (.591), Duke (.588) and Gonzaga (.587)"

I also like how he's the type of coach who's not going to put up with the B.S. from players, and pull them even if they're kicking butt in the first half (Chad Baker Mazara.) If you let one guy get away with it, then they all think they can. Set the precedent. That's class and character, before W's. That's rare. |
