Early Life
Hebert is a native of Long Beach, California and attended college at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he also played on the indoor squad.

In 1975 he received a call to be the women's head coach at the University of Pittsburgh, but he declined because he didn't know how women played. The university called back a month later and asked him to reconsider, when he accepted the job offer for $1,500.
