By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ask Eddie Reese<\/strong> and Jack Bauerle<\/strong> about their experiences as assistant coaches for the U.S. team at this summer\u2019s FINA World Championships, and both will admit: they had no intentions of making the trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t really want to do it,\u201d Reese said. Well then, why did he agree to go? \u201cThey wanted me to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no real designs on going,\u201d Bauerle said. \u201cDay two of Trials we had a few kids already qualified, and then all the sudden, you have a huge responsibility to them, and if it helps them be a better athlete if you\u2019re there, then you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seven of Bauerle\u2019s University of Georgia-trained athletes ended up qualifying for Worlds,\u00a0so he had to decide if he would accept the invitation to join the American coaching staff. Looking for some opinions on what to do, he sought out Cal men\u2019s coach Dave Durden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went up to Dave Durden, and I pay no attention to who\u2019s head coach and who\u2019s not,\u201d Bauerle said. \u201cI just said, \u2018Hey Dave, if you get picked for this\u2014which I\u2019m sure you will\u2014are you going?\u2019 He goes, \u2018I probably will.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Some five months earlier, Durden had been named head coach for the U.S. men in Budapest<\/a>. Yup, he was definitely going.<\/p>\n

The meet was the second straight World Champs in which Durden had led the American staff, but during his debut global meet at the helm\u20142015 in Kazan\u2014not all went so smoothly. The American men won only two gold medals all week, Ryan Lochte<\/strong> in the 200 IM and the men\u2019s 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n

Going into the 2017 meet, Durden felt much more prepared, and he explained the difference as he met with media members on the last day of U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2015, we had a terrible head coach for the men,\u201d he joked. \u201cScrewed up every relay. He\u2019s going to get that right in 2017 and rely on the staff to make the right decisions with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

This time around, relays were a priority as soon as the team arrived in Opatija, Croatia, for training camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a men\u2019s staff\u2014Jack, Eddie, myself and Gregg<\/strong> (Troy<\/strong>)\u2014we went to dinner early in Croatia just to specifically talk through our three men\u2019s relays as well as our mixed relays,\u201d Durden said. \u201cIt was a pretty long dinner just to get through all that information, but it was well, well beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n

About one month later, as Durden reflected on the Budapest experience, he explained that he and everyone else on the U.S. coaching staff felt a responsibility to ensure that the American team has a successful experience.<\/p>\n

Sure, Durden hopes that his Cal teams swim well at the end of the season, and so do Reese (Texas), Bauerle (Georgia) and U.S. women\u2019s head coach Greg Meehan<\/strong> (Stanford) with their teams. But representing the United States ups the ante, particularly with the country’s\u00a0tradition of success at major meets.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime you\u2019re on a USA staff, regardless of the position\u2014head coach, assistant coach\u2014there\u2019s a level of responsibility that you have to the entirety of the team for that team to be successful,\u201d Durden said. We want to do this and do this really well because we understand what it means to USA Swimming, to our country, to those athletes that are there at that meet.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s old news by now that for the U.S. team in Budapest, things went well. American swimmers won 38 medals, tied for the most all-time at a FINA showcase event, and 18 of those medals were gold. Outside of the competition pool, swimmers ranging from 15-year-old Regan Smith<\/strong> to 32-year-old Matt Grevers<\/strong> raved about the team\u2019s outstanding chemistry.<\/p>\n

The swimmers enjoyed themselves, and apparently, so did the coaches. \u201cWe had a ball,\u201d Reese said.<\/p>\n

Each member of the coaching staff was supposed to have their own hotel room in both Opatija and in Budapest. Sounds reasonable, but two of the coaches decided on an alternative plan of action.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie and I, we truly like spending time with each other,\u201d Bauerle said. \u201cEddie and I stayed together. It was great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several nights during the meet, Bauerle insisted on going out in Budapest to have dinner, even if it was less than 12 hours until the start of the next morning\u2019s prelim sessions. Reese went with him, and so did Ray<\/strong> Looze<\/strong>, the Indiana head coach who was an assistant on the American women\u2019s coaching staff.<\/p>\n

One such evening, the trio was at a restaurant when they realized that a man at the next table over looked awfully familiar.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie goes, \u2018I know that guy. Is he with water polo?\u2019\u201d Looze recalled. \u201cAnd Jack looks at him, I look at him, and I\u2019m like, \u2018I know that guy, too.\u2019 And Jack goes, \u2018That\u2019s Mark<\/strong> Spitz<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately, the coaches got Spitz\u2019s attention, and all the sudden, dinner for three became dinner for four and eventually five when Spitz\u2019s wife joined the crew.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark starts talking about how he didn\u2019t have underwater kicks,\u201d Looze said. \u201cHe goes, \u2018Eddie, would I have been good at those?\u2019 And Eddie goes, \u2018You would have been really good at those.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Looze had been on the Olympic team staff one year earlier, and while at training camps and the Games, he and Bob Bowman had started a tradition of daily walks. Other coaches had joined in from time to time, but Looze and Bowman had gone every single day through the end of the swimming competition in Rio.<\/p>\n

For Budapest, Looze quickly found a new partner for his walks: Troy.<\/p>\n

\u201cGregg goes, \u2018I hear you take people out and you walk in the morning.\u2019\u201d Looze remembered. \u201cAnd he goes, \u2018I need to get in shape. I told myself I would walk with you. Can I do this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

So every day during the training camp in Croatia and the meet in Budapest, Looze and Troy walked. Worlds was by all means a work trip for these coaches, but clearly, that didn\u2019t stop them from enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n

Half of the U.S. team coaching staff in Budapest\u2014Looze, Durden, Bauerle and Meehan\u2014returned from the Olympic team the year before, while Troy and Reese had both been frequent members of previous staffs. That left just two coaches making their senior U.S. team debuts, Arthur Albiero<\/strong> and Cory<\/strong> Chitwood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Rio, I thought we had great staff chemistry,\u201d Looze said. \u201cThe whole group picked right up where we left off, and the new people came in, like Cory and Arthur, they just fit right in.\u201d<\/p>\n

And could it be that the coaching staff\u2019s affection for each other and positive working relationships actually contributed to the swimmers\u2019 stellar results in the pool? More than one staff member thought so.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of that stuff is, in quotes, mystical,\u201d Reese said. \u201cIt\u2019s all nuances and how you treat people and when you laugh. But the coaching staff, we laughed all the time. We had a ball. Between Greg (Meehan) and Dave, neither one of them ever thought they were that funny. I think that kept then relaxed and us relaxed and the kids relaxed.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reese and Bauerle have been stalwarts on American coaching staffs for years (both served as head coach for an Olympic staff at least once) but each admitted that the trip to Budapest, one that neither had really planned on making, was special\u2014and not just because of the medal count.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Olympics are the Olympics,\u201d Bauerle said, \u201cbut other than that, it was the best trip I\u2019ve ever been on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
