After what many say was the greatest aquatics April Fools' joke of all time, legendary University of Texas men's head swim coach Eddie Reese has admitted that no, he will not be retiring after all!
UT and Arizona State University put together an elaborate hoax today, claiming that ASU head coach Bob Bowman would take the reins in Austin, leaving assistant Herbie Behm to take over in Tempe.
Bowman stated "Herbie really played along with it well. The guy acted as if he was actually taking over the program. Our SID let him in on the joke yesterday...at least I think he did..."
Reese, known to be a man of few words, responded to an inquiry from SwimScam with "JK, JK!"
