The Cougars added the newest member to their family with Augie Busch becoming the fourth head coach of the swimming team.
Busch is coming off an eight-year stint at Arizona as an assistant.
“He cares about his student-athletes,” Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades said in a release. “The number of highly decorated swimmers who spoke out about Augie was astounding. Not only was it clear he made them better swimmers, but he had a major impact on their growth as people and citizens of their community.
Prior to Arizona, Busch was an assistant at Arkansas between 2001-2003.
“Houston is a program with a first-class facility and an established nationally ranked diving program with Jane Figueired,” Busch said. “With those key ingredients already in place, I know we can build on that and become a program that great swimmers want to be associated with.”
