time with a pair of stories.\u00a0During the next few days, we&#8217;ll take a look back in &#8220;Splashbacks&#8221;, the most read stories of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Controversy reigned when <strong>Mark Spitz<\/strong> was quoted as saying that Phelps did not win the 100 fly at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, something Omega Timing has talked about previously. \u00a0Meanwhile, Phelps&#8217;s head coach <strong>Bob Bowman<\/strong> took the Arizona State head coaching position and Phelps confirmed that he would join his mentor in Tempe in the leadup to the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The other major storyline in March-April was the elimination of the collegiate swimming program at Western Kentucky University. \u00a0Additionally, French Olympic gold medalist <strong>Camille Muffat<\/strong> died during a reality TV show in another shocking headline.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the pool, <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> made noise with a stunning 57-second 100-meter breaststroke world record, while the Texas men and California women won the NCAA titles.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" style=\"display: none;\"><p><a
