Dr. Kim Fischer
With more victories than any coach in the history of Bluffton College, Dr. Kim Fischer now takes her place in the BC Athletic Hall of Fame just one year after her departure from BC.
From 1979 to 1997 Fischer guided the BC volleyball program to a 521-229 (.695) record, six Western Buckeye Collegiate Conference championships and one Association of Mideast Colleges championship. She led her teams into post-season action 12 times, capturing NAIA District 22 championships in 1982, 1985 and 1988. Coach Fischer was named WBCC Coach of the Year in 1982, 1984, 1985, 1987 (co) and 1990, and was named the AMC co-coach of the year in 1994.
In her 19 seasons as volleyball coach, Fischer's teams recorded at least 25 wins 13 times and at least 30 wins seven times. Her 1985 and 1987 teams are already in the hall of fame, and her 1988 team is being inducted this year with her. Those three teams combined for a 107-14 (.884) record.
Fischer served as professor of health, physical education and recreation at BC and assumed the title of associate director of athletics in 1985. She spent 11 seasons as the head women's basketball coach, notching 114 victories and one WBCC championship and six seasons as the head women's softball coach, collecting 78 victories and two AMC championships.
Fischer continues to coach at volleyball camps and clinics around the Midwest.
