Arizona swim coach Frank Busch will step down after this season to become the Director of USA Swimming.
Arizona Athletics media relations confirmed that Busch will remain with the team for the remainder of the season.
Busch, his staff and his swimmers could not be reached for comment, and Busch canceled media availability Tuesday morning. He informed his team later that day.
The Wildcat men’s and women’s teams won the National Championship in 2008 under Busch.
After being hired in 1989, Busch was awarded Pacific 10 Conference Coach of the Year 11 times and NCAA Coach of the Year six times.
