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 the mid 1970s, after being in the Peace Corps in Nigeria, he returned to the United States and received his PhD in philosophy of education at Indiana.
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.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“To be candid, in Middlemarch phraseology, meant, to use an early opportunity of letting your friends know that you did not take a cheerful view of their capacity, their conduct, or their position; and a robust candour never waited to be asked for its opinion.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Shielded, what sorts of life are stirring yet:
Legs lagged like drains, slippers soft as fungus,
The gas and grate, the old cold sour grey bed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
