By Michael J. Stott<\/em><\/p>\n

As we roll into Day two of the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships,\u00a0thoughts wander back to Texas coach Eddie Reese\u2019s<\/strong> musings on the first night of competition and the events to come.<\/p>\n

Swimming World:<\/em> Congratulations on the victory in the 800 free relay tonight.<\/p>\n

Coach Reese:<\/em> It was all coaching.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Given that fact . . .<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> I say that without a smile . . .<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Given the splits of swimmers two (Townley Haas<\/strong>, 1:30.52) and three (Clark Smith<\/strong>, 1:33.28) and given the fact that they are entered in the 500 free is that a harbinger of things to come?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> The big question is how to recover from that race because everybody that is in the 500 pretty much swam that race. They all do it at conference. We noticed that the girls had a little bit of trouble with that coming back after the relay. Some of the good ones didn\u2019t swim well in the prelims so we know that to win the meet you\u2019ve got to have a good prelims session every time and a good finals session. As Jack Bauerle<\/strong> said, \u201cOK, now comes three hard days.\u201d This was an easy day to start the meet. And now all the doubles and all that kind of stuff gets real hard.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> You talked about the girls, now we are talking about Texas men. There is a difference.<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> Got it.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> What can we expect from the Longhorns the next three days. In talking to coaches on deck, they feel you are the prohibitive favorite.<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> You know, we\u2019ve never been one.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> How\u2019s it feel?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> Well, I don\u2019t pay attention to those guys. None of it matters what anybody thinks. A gun goes off,\u00a0 they have to race. And that\u2019s all it is. I never started coaching to win NCAAs or to be the Olympic coach. I just enjoy people going fast and that\u2019s what we are here to do.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> What day sets up best for the Longhorns?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> Oh man, we are real good tomorrow (Thursday); real good Saturday. We\u2019re good Friday. Friday may be a good day for us. All we can control is what we are going to do. We can\u2019t control anybody else. And so far on the 800 free relays if you look at all the 1:32\u2019s in that relay (10 among the top 16 teams, three 1:31\u2019s), they made 33\u2019s and 34\u2019s slow.\u00a0 There were more 1:32\u2019s out there than any of us could have dreamed.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Did you like the move of the relay?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> Without a doubt; I loved it. Most of the records have been set at conference because it is hard and here we are in gold at 9:30 at night and it\u2019s a great gift to the athletes.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Three teams under the U.S. Open record. You talk about a lot of 1:32\u2019s and 1:33\u2019s, I saw a 1:30.52 slip in there from Townley Haas<\/strong>. Where did that come from?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> It gives me chills. It comes from chasing Clark Smith<\/strong> in every workout. He is relentless. He never beats him but he is after him. Every time, it doesn\u2019t matter if he is getting beat, it\u2019s real hard if someone is repeating better than you most of the time to stay in that game. He just stays in it. We felt he (Townley) would be our best split, but we didn\u2019t know it would be that fast. And Jack\u2019s (Conger \u2013 1:31.89) was real good.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> What was the thought process choosing the order of the swimmers?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> The best times we had were Jack 33 something, Townley 33 low, Clark 33.3, Joseph (Schooling) at 34 on a relay. All of them are tough. Joe will not let people pass him no matter what. And we wanted Jack to go first; we figured nobody could stay with Jack and Townley. \u00a0No team could stay with the two of them back to back and so we\u2019d have a lead. Clark overswam his race a little bit. He was out a little fast which is normal. If he\u2019d been even he\u2019d been even out a little faster. And that\u2019s not what we wanted. We wanted him to go in where he\u2019d be a little bit relaxed.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Does clear water make a difference for Clark \u2013 or at 6\u20199\u201d does it not matter?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> It makes a difference for everybody. Most world records are set by people who are out in front. They haven\u2019t had to go face-to-face with anybody.\u00a0 I swim better when I\u2019m ahead. I can\u2019t remember back that far, but I know everybody swims better when they are out front. (ed. note:<\/em> this from a man who finished tied for 10th<\/sup> with Richard Quick<\/strong> in the 400 IM at NCAAs).<\/p>\n

SW:<\/em> Is the plan for Schooling to swim five relays?<\/p>\n

ECR:<\/em> Yes.<\/p>\n

Day two is here \u2013 let the games begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
