Upon graduation, Fischer entered the coaching ranks, taking an assistant coaching position at Williams College under Dave Paulsen, where the Ephs reached the national championship game of the 2004 NCAA Division III Tournament.[3] In 2005, Fischer headed to the Division I ranks joining the coaching staff at Rider, where he stayed until 2008 before reuniting with Paulsen who had taken the head coaching position at Bucknell.[4] While on staff with the Bison, Fischer was part of two NCAA Tournament squads and four Patriot League regular season championship teams. In 2015, Fischer followed Paulsen to George Mason to serve as assistant coach.[5]
