ASU swim coach Bowman to lead Olympic squad
New ASU swimming coach Bob Bowman, who is Michael Phelps’ personal coach, was last week named head coach of the U.S. team for the 2016 Rio Olympics. It is not really a coaching position, as with UA softball coach Mike Candrea at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Bowman will be more of a caretaker and organizer for all but Phelps. It will also take him away from day-to-day duties as ASU’s coach for a bit. According to my research, and records are not consistently available, Arizona last lost a dual swimming meet to the Sun Devils in 1991.
