To Steve Fisher, the end of his Michigan Wolverines career, a crash and burn that ended with his firing amid NCAA scandal, is not something to dwell on. Fisher, who retired from coaching on Tuesday, was reflective but hardly combative after stepping down from San Diego State Aztecs, telling ESPN.com that "it's all long behind me."
His former player, Jalen Rose, isn't as willing to let bygones be bygones. Rose, now an ESPN analyst, believes that the only thing preventing Fisher from a spot in the Hall of Fame is the NCAA scandal at Michigan and his teammate's refusal to own up to his part in it.
