By Michael Randazzo, Swimming World Contributor<\/em><\/p>\n

In an announcement<\/a> that was expected though still surprising, after 27 seasons Johns Hopkins water polo head coach Ted Bresnahan<\/strong> is retiring.<\/p>\n

\"johns-hopkins\"<\/p>\n

“We are lucky to have had Ted Bresnahan\u00a0lead our water polo team for nearly three decades,” Johns Hopkins Director of Athletics and Recreation\u00a0Alanna Shanahan <\/strong>said in a statement. “He is synonymous with Hopkins water polo. He turned a fledgling program into a perennial power and we are very thankful for his years of dedicated service.”<\/p>\n

Shanahan’s challenge is to replace the best coach, by far, in program history. After three different coaches led the program in its first three years, Bresnahan, a former swim and polo athlete at the University of Kentucky, took over in 1991 and had an immediate impact. Hopkins improved from last to third in the Mid-Atlantic Conference, then proceeded to repeated this feat again in 1992, setting a standard of excellence at the small, Division III program with a distinctly shallow pool.<\/p>\n

Any opponent foolish enough to under-estimate Bresnahan\u2019s charges paid a heavy price for their arrogance. A dominant program in DIII ranks, where the Blue Jays won a record 17 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championships, it was against Division I and II level opponents that Hopkins truly shone brightest. Despite zero athletic scholarship money and some of the nation\u2019s toughest admissions requirements<\/a>, the Blue Jays were always a dangerous opponent to face, as friend and former adversary Mike Schofield<\/strong> attested.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Navy teams played the Blue Jays at least three times a year, and we never had an easy time, not once. They gave us fits.\u201d Schofield said in an email. \u201cCoach Bresnahan\u2019s teams were always in shape, featured great drivers and ball handlers, executing his system of play at a high level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not sure I can quantify what an incredible job Ted did in almost 30 years at Hopkins,\u201d Schofield, now a water polo referee<\/a>, added. \u201cThe guy worked 3 jobs, yet outperformed everyone at the DIII level, not to mention all of us in DI and II. He did this with a shallow-deep pool, Ivy League type admissions requirements, and a tiny budget. Ted was a tireless recruiter, developed dozens of All-Americans, looked after his players and made sure they graduated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be a\u00a0statue or something on campus with his name on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bresnahan led Hopkins polo to a 414-389 (.515) record, and is just the fifth head coach in Johns Hopkins’ athletic history to reach 400 wins. Named the ACWPC National Coach of the Year in 2005, 2008 and 2015, since 1996 his program has produced at least one All-American in every season. In addition, two of his players have been inducted into the Johns Hopkins Athletic Hall of Fame: Chadd Crump<\/strong> (Class of 1996) and Brian Mead<\/strong> (Class of 2005).<\/p>\n

In addition to his work with the Blue Jays, he was the founder of the Greater Baltimore Swim Association<\/a>, an important resource for the city’s age groups swimmers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps no single season exemplifies Bresnahan\u2019s impact at Hopkins\u2014a prestigious research university known mostly for alum Mike Bloomberg<\/strong><\/a>, as well as a successful men\u2019s lacrosse program. But the Blue Jays\u2019 2015 campaign, where an unsung team came within a goal of qualifying for the NCAA men\u2019s water polo tournament, demonstrated just how far the intrepid coach could take the program.<\/p>\n

Coming into the 2015 Collegiate Water Polo Association men\u2019s championship, which would crown a champion as well as award an NCAA berth, Hopkins had nine losses\u2014four by two goals or less. The Blue Jays proceeded to knock off St. Francis Brooklyn and top-seed Brown to advance to their first-ever CWPA final.<\/p>\n

In a competitive championship match against #2 seed Princeton, Hopkins was tied late in the third period when a\u00a0missed Blue Jays penalty shot turned the game in favor of the Tigers, who captured a 7-6 victory<\/a>. It was the closest that an Eastern DIII team has come to qualifying for an NCAA varsity berth in the history of CWPA championship play. Hopkins finished the year ranked 12th in the nation, the program’s highest finish ever.<\/p>\n

The best record produced by a Bresnahan-coached squad was in 2005, when the Mead-led Blue Jays went 24-6, losing to Navy and Princeton twice, Bucknell and Slippery Rock\u2014but also handing the Tigers a 15-14 OT loss, one of the greatest wins in program history.<\/p>\n

“Ted turned the\u00a0JHU\u00a0into a destination for generations of East and West Coast water polo players,\u201d said Paul Ramaley who played for the Blue Jays from 1999-2002. \u201cPlayers who have gone through the program have a special bond that is all tied to him. Ted\u00a0has put everything he has into the program and it will be almost impossible to replace his passion for Baltimore, Hopkins and\u00a0the sport of water polo.”<\/p>\n

A national search for his replacement will begin immediately.\u00a0Max Schlegel<\/strong>, an assistant for Hopkins the last three years who helped guide the team to a 9-18 record this season, will lead the program during the search process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hopkins guys are in good hands with Max, but those are some very large shoes to fill,\u201d Schofield said. \u201cThe Navy water polo family wishes Ted well and thanks him for decades of fantastic competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
