Steve Fisher was named interim head coach between the conclusion of the 1989 regular season and the NCAA Tournament.
Due to NCAA sanctions, the University of Michigan has vacated the records from the 1992 Final Four, the 1992/93, 95/96, 96/97, 97/98 and 98/99 seasons. Games affected are: 170 total games, 113-57 overall games, 50-36 Big Ten, 7-4 NCAA, 5-0 NIT and 4-1 Big Ten Tournament. It also reflects vacating the 1992 Final Four appearance; the 19997 NIT Championship; 1993, 1996 and 1998 NCAA tournament appearances; and the 1998 Big Ten Tournament championship. This chart reflects on-court results.
