During that time, he has led the Lady Bulldogs to six NCAA team championships, including back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014. Bauerle has also been a prominent figure on the national stage, serving as the Head Coach for the U.S. Women\u2019s Olympic team at the 2008 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>However, that impeccable resume came under threat when in early 2014 the university began investigating a situation involving star student-athlete <strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong>. The investigation centered around whether Bauerle made special arrangements for Kalisz to get into a class that would ensure his eligibility, a violation of NCAA rules.<\/p>\n<p>In the piece, Bauerle spoke of the anxiety he felt being away from the pool deck: \u201cThis sport envelopes you,\u201d he says in the piece. \u201cYou live and breathe what the kids do. Yeah, you\u2019re coaching them, but they also become really important to you day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the better part of 2014 Bauerle was kept off of the pool deck, and only this December did the NCAA rule\u00a0that the coach &#8220;did not promote an atmosphere for compliance,&#8221; while issuing a public reprimand as well as restrictions on recruiting. Finally, given the ruling of the NCAA, Bauerle was allowed to resume his coaching role.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation came as a surprise to many, as Bauerle has been known as a coach whose high standards extend to his athlete&#8217;s performance in the classroom.\u00a0&#8220;It was pretty upsetting,&#8221; Bauerle said with regards to the investigation.\u00a0&#8220;It got pretty offensive in some ways, being questioned about things when people know what I&#8217;ve stood for my entire life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on the situation, the coach noted that time has given him some perspective on the incident:\u00a0&#8220;If I could go back in time,&#8221; Bauerle said, &#8220;&#8230;maybe I would have encouraged him to do it on his own&#8230;The biggest thing you have to realize, at no time was I trying to get something without doing the work. We were going to hold our student&#8217;s feet to the fire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can read\u00a0the <a
