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 related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
