Busch named head coach at Virginia

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage on Wednesday announced that Augie Busch has been named the head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. Busch was the head coach of Houston’s women’s squad for the past two seasons.

“After doing the research to find a great fit and the type of coach best positioned to take over the Virginia swimming and diving program, there is no question in my mind that Augie Busch is someone who is uniquely qualified,” Littlepage said. “His background with top-ranked college programs, conference and NCAA champions and Olympic-level swimmers have all prepared him to build on our programs’ success at Virginia.”

In his two seasons at Houston, Busch led the Cougars to a fourth-place finish in Conference USA in 2012 and to a program-best second-place league showing this past season.
