Only one man after becoming a head coach for his first time in men's NCAA college Basketball has won a men's National NCAA Basketball Title without losing any games. Who is it?

yes, you were close...Steve Fisher (no c ) 6-0 his first year as a Head coach for Michigan. Michigan fired their head coach before going in to the NCAA Tournament and Fisher won all 6 games and the National Title. The only NCAA Head Coach in his first year as Head Coach to go undefeated and win the National Title the same year.

that was a game of attrition and X didn't have enough big men. I was there 3rd row from the floor T Hill did everything he could but only had 5 fouls
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
