Former UA swimming coach Busch has great week 

Former UA swimming coach Frank Busch sat in the front row at Friday’s Arizona-UCLA game at McKale Center. Now the director of USA Swimming’s national teams, Busch had a very good week; the top swimmer he coached at Arizona, Ryk Neethling, was selected to the Pac-12’s All-Century team, as was Busch’s long-time top assistant coach, Rick DeMont. The third Arizona swimmer to make the All-Century team was Kevin Cordes, who committed to swim for Arizona before Busch left for USA Swimming.
