GEORGE FISHER
Head Coach
Under the expert guidance of George 
Fisher, the UMD basketball program has 
reached a level of prominence virtually 
unmatched by any small college in the 
Upper Midwest. Now entering his sixth 
season as the Bulldog head man, Fisher 
has posted an overall record of 96-44 since taking the coaching reins 
in 1978 and an incredible 69-17 mark the past three seasons. His career 
winning percentage of .686 at UMD places him first among all Bulldog 
basketball coaches in that department. Fisher, who was selected the 
1983 NAIA District 13 Coach of the Year, has directed the Bulldogs 
to two straight Northern Intercollegiate Conference titles and three con­
secutive District 13 playoff appearances.
Fisher came to UMD after a two-year stint at Northland College of 
Ashland, Wisconsin, where he led the Lumberjacks to a 17-12 record 
in 1977-78 and a berth in the NAIA District 13 playoffs.
A 1974 graduate of Manhattan College in New York, Fisher received 
his first taste of college coaching as a graduate assistant at Denver 
University where he earned his master's degree in 1975. That fall, Fisher 
moved on to Rapid City, South Dakota, and landed his first head 
coaching job at the National School of Business where he stayed one 
year before packing his bags for Ashland.
Fisher, who is also a physical education instructor at UMD, has found 
equal success as the Bulldog golf coach, leading UMD to a pair of NIC 
crowns and at least one national tournament appearance in each of his 
five years.
Fisher and his wife, Christi, a teaching specialist in the Communicative 
Disorders Department at UMD, have two children - Jenny, 6, and Beth, 
3.

In Search of No. 100
To most of the UMD Bulldogs, a victory tonight against crosstown 
rival St. Scholastica would be viewed as just a another notch in the old win 
column. But for one member of the Bulldog basketball clan, a triumph at 
the expense of the Saints would take on a somewhat special meaning.
Bulldog Head Coach George Fisher will be looking to chalk up his 
100th win at UMD when his team takes the floor with St. Scholastica. If 
the Bulldogs succeed on the scoreboard, Fisher will become only the third 
coach in school history to reach the century win mark.
But perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that if Fisher does crack 
the 100-victory barrier tonight, he will have done so in a shorter time period 
than either of his two predessors.
The legendary Lloyd Peterson (1931-43), the first to reach the 100-win 
plateau, waited until the last of his 12 seasons as the Bulldog head man 
before surpassing 100 victories. Norm Olson, who occupied the UMD 
coaching chair from 1954 to 1969, notched his 100th win on the opening 
day of the 1960-61 season, just over six years after taking the Bulldog reins. 
Fisher, with a Bulldog victory this evening, will have conquered the 100-win 
milestone in a little over five years. In terms of games needed to reach 100 
triumphs, however, Olson holds the upperhand. The Bulldogs’ all-time 
coaching leader (229 career victories) got his 100th triumph after only 143 
games while Fisher, again with a win against St. Scholastica, will have need­
ed 145 contests.
Bulldog Spotlight — Chris Neumann
If one were to use a single word to 
describe senior co-captain and current UMD 
scoring leader Chris Neumann, “durable” 
would be an awfully good choice. Neumann, 
you see, has become somewhat of an iron­
man in his three-plus seasons with the 
Bulldogs. Going into tonight’s game, the 
two-time AII-NIC selection has started 90 
straight games since coming to Duiuth in 
1980. If he stays healthy, Neumann, a 
native of Milwaukee, will become the first 
Bulldog in over a decade to get the starting 
nod in every game for four consecutive 
years. (Mike Josephson last accomplished 
this endurance feat in 1968-72.)

BUTCH KURONEN
Assistant Coach
After serving as a student assistant for 
three years, Butch Kuronen has moved 
up this season to become the Bulldogs' 
assistant coach. Kuronen came to UMD 
in the fall of 1977 after concluding a 
brilliant athletic career at Two Harbors
High School where he was a standout in basketball, baseball, football 
and track. While at UMD, Kuronen played one year of junior varsity 
basketball before ascending into the student coaching ranks as a 
sophomore. He was graduated from UMD in May 1982 with a degree 
in physical education and worked in a sporting goods store in Chicago 
before returning to his alma mater this fall. In addition to assisting 
Fisher with the day-to-day duties, Kuronen is also responsible for direc­
ting the Bulldog junior varsity program.
