Bill Frieder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Frieder was a 1964 BBA graduate of Michigan's School of Business and basketball coach at the University of Michigan (1981-1989) and Arizona State University (1989-1997). Frieder was fired by Michigan athletic director Bo Schembechler on the eve of the 1989 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament after Frieder announced that he would leave Michigan for ASU at the end of the season. Schembechler wanted a "Michigan man" to coach Michigan. The Wolverines went on to win the tournament.
