FORMER Perth Wildcats coach and player Scott Fisher has been caught up in the high-profile split of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood and wife Dina.
Sources say Fisher, 50, has rekindled a high-school romance with former TV news anchor Dina, Eastwood’s second wife.
“Dina is in love with Scott,” a source told The National Enquirer, as reported by PerthNow.
“It’s like high school all over again.”
Both Fisher and Dina grew up in Fremont, California. They both attended Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.
On Twitter, Fisher follows only 92 people. Among them are Dina, her daughter Morgan and stepdaughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood.
This week, Dina, 48, announced to Us Weekly that she and Eastwood, 83, had separated after living apart “for some time”, but said they remained “close”.
The couple, who were married for 17 years, are believed to have broken up in June 2012, a source said.
“Clint fell out of love with Dina a long time ago,” the insider told Us Weekly, noting that the separation was “amicable”.
Fisher, who is now an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii, has landed himself in the headlines amid speculation he is the new love in Dina’s life.
There has been no official statement about the alleged new relationship.
The retired Australian-American basketballer was head coach of the Perth Wildcats for four years until 2008, after carving out a reputation as one of the team’s greatest players with 247 games.
Fisher told PerthNow in 2008 that “this has been one of the toughest decisions of my life” when he ended a 21-year association with Australian basketball by moving back to his native US. He wanted to be closer to his elderly parents.

Earlier this year, Fisher, an NBL Hall of Famer, was named in the Wildcats’ 30th Anniversary All-Star team.
Perth Wildcats managing director Nick Marvin said he had caught up with Fisher in San Francisco earlier this year.
“While Scott was the happiest I’ve seen him in a long time, I think his personal life is best kept private,” he said.
“We are trying to find a window for (Fisher) to visit us even briefly so our fans can see him and he can witness a game at the new Perth Arena.”
Married since March 31, 1996, Dina and Eastwood have one daughter together, 16-year-old Morgan.
Eastwood, who is directing filming of the movie Jersey Boys, has seven children by five women, but has married only twice.
Rumours that there was trouble in paradise between the pair emerged in April when Eastwood appeared at the TriBeCa Film Festival in New York with his wedding ring noticeably absent, according to the Daily Mail.
The couple had not been photographed together since November 2011 and they were seen embroiled in an apparent argument at his daughter Alison’s wedding in March.
Earlier this year, TMZ reported that Dina had checked herself into rehab for problems with “depression and anxiety”.
Last year, Dina and her daughter Morgan and stepdaughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood starred in the reality-TV show Mrs Eastwood & Company.
Francesca, 20, is Eastwood’s daughter from his relationship with Titanic actress Frances Fisher.
