ASU Swim and Dive coach Bob Bowman leaves for Texas just days after leading the Sun Devils to their first-ever National Championship, following a nine-year tenure in Tempe where he resurrected the program from elimination in 2008.

By the Numbers
  • Bowman spent nine years at ASU and guided the program to top-5 finishes in the conference in eight of those seasons.
  • ASU won the national title with 523.5 points, beating California by 79 points (444.5 points).
Yes, But

The sudden departure of Bob Bowman after the National Championship win leaves a significant void in ASU's swim and dive program.

State of Play
  • Bob Bowman has left ASU to become the Director of Swimming and Diving at the University of Texas.
  • The program's associate head coach, Herbie Behm, a former ASU swimmer, will take over coaching responsibilities.
What's Next

Herbie Behm is set to lead ASU's swim and dive program, continuing the legacy built by Bob Bowman and aiming for further milestones in the future.

Bottom Line

Bob Bowman's departure marks the end of a successful era for ASU's swim and dive program, with Herbie Behm now tasked with steering the team towards continued success.
