USC Coaching Greats

Peter Daland

Led USC to 9 NCAA team and 93 individual and relay titles as coach from 1958-92. Pictured with John Konrads (center) and Murray Rose. One of the most respected collegiate and international swim coaches in history, Peter Daland retired from coaching in April of 1992 after 35 years at USC and more than 45 years of coaching at the club and college levels. He remains actively involved in the sport, serving on U.S.A. Swimming’s International Relations Committee as the sport’s liaison for Europe and attending the annual European Championships. During his tenure at USC, Daland led the Troy to nine NCAA team championships – the second most in NCAA history – and 93 NCAA individual and relay titles. He also won 17 national AAU titles (15 men’s at USC and two women’s at the L.A. Athletic Club.). USC finished first or second in the country a phenomenal 20 times in Daland’s 35 years. Daland’s teams enjoyed tremendous success at the conference level as well, winning the league title 17 of the Pac-10’s 32 years. Trojan swimmers captured 155 Pac-10 individual and relay titles under Daland. His dual meet record was unparalleled: 318-31-1 (.917) in 35 seasons. USC went undefeated in dual meets in 20 seasons and his 1977 team might have been the finest collegiate swim team ever. Among the world class swimmers he has coached are John Naber, winner of four Olympic golds and 10 NCAA titles; American record holders Dave Wharton and Mike O’Brien; Olympic stars Roy Saari, Murray Rose, Jeff Float, Joe and Mike Bottom and Bruce and Steve Furniss. Yet just as important is the success Daland’s swimmers had out of the pool. Seven Trojan swimmers went on to win NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and three former Trojans were recipients of the NCAA’s prestigious Today’s Top Six Award (Steve Furniss, Wharton and Naber). At the international level, Daland stands as one of the world’s most successful coaches. He led two of the most powerful United States teams ever in Olympic competition – the 1972 men’s team that won nine gold medals and the 1964 women’s squad that captured six of eight golds. He also guided American teams to impressive victories in meets against East Germany and the USSR in 1971 and at the World University Games in 1973.

Administratively, Daland was the longtime swimming chairman for the World University Games (Universiade) since 1983, recently retiring from the post. He was the USA delegate to the International Swimming Federation Congress (FINA) in 1991 and 1995. Daland also served as the president of the American Swimming Coaches Association. Daland’s Trojan swimmers did exceptionally well on the international scene, highlighted by seven gold and two silver medals at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal – more medals than any country except the United States. Daland was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 1989-90 and was a six-time national Coach of the Year (1971 – NCAA Coaches Association; 1962 – American Swimming Coaches; 1973 – American Swimmer; 1964-66 – Columbus Touch-down Club). He was presented the Ousely Award for Outstanding Service to ASCA in 1992). In 1975, Daland was awarded the prestigious “national AAU Swimming Award,” given to the person who has contributed the most to swimming. The College Swimming Coaches Association of American presented him with the 1976 “Collegiate and Scholastic Swimming Trophy” for his contributions to swimming as a competitive sport and a healthy recreation activity. He is also involved in a number of swimming-related activities. Daland, who founded Swimming World and Junior Swimmer, was a member of the 1984 Olympic Organizing Committee and was the competition chairman for swimming events at the 1984 Games. Daland formerly directed two coaches’ clinics in the United States and conducted overseas clinics and domestic media tours to promote swimming for the Phillips Petroleum Company. He was a member of the Speedo International Advisory Coaches Board and has organized clinics in 40 countries. Originally from New York City, Daland is a 1948 graduate of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. His first coaching job was at Rose Valley (Penn.), where he took the club swim team to eight consecutive Suburban League titles (1947-55). He founded and was the first head coach of the Suburban Swimming Club in Philadelphia (1950-55) and served as an assistant swim coach at Yale University from 1950-54).

USC Coaching Greats

Mark Schubert

Led USC to 1997 NCAA women’s team title • Produced 179 All-Americans and 30 NCAA and 76 Pac-10 individual and relay titles Mark Schubert had the unenviable task of following the legendary Peter Daland when he took over as the head men’s swimming coach at USC in 1993. But Schubert thrived in the role and, after becoming the women’s head coach in 1994, spent more than a decade guiding one of top swim programs in the country. Under Schubert, USC won 12 men’s and 18 women’s NCAA individual titles and 42 men’s and 34 women’s Pac-10 individual titles. Schubert, who led USC to its only women’s NCAA team championships in 1997, also produced 97 men’s All-Americans and 82 women’s AllAmericans. The USC men’s team finished among the top 10 at the NCAA Championships 12 times in 14 seasons with Schubert at the helm, including 10 times in the top 7. Schubert’s women’s squads finished no lower than 10th at the NCAA Championships in any of his 13 years as head coach, finishing in the top 7 11 times and in the top 4 four times. Also while with the Trojans, Schubert guided USC squads to U.S. titles at the 2001 and 2006 Spring Nationals and led Trojan Swim Club to championships at the 1999 Spring and Summer and 2003 Summer Nationals. One of the United States’ most recognizable and successful coaches of all-time, Schubert was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., on Jan. 10, 1997 as “Honor Coach.” The same year, he also was named Coach of the Year by five organizations: American Swimming Coaches Association, United States Olympic Committee, United States Swimming, NCAA and Pac-10. Two years later, he earned a trio of Coach of the Year awards in 1999, coming from the USOC, ASCA and USS. Schubert’s international coaching experience was highlighted by his seven consecutive coaching appearances with U.S. Olympic swim

80

teams. He was the United States Swimming head coach in 2004, headed the men’s team in 2000, was as an assistant in 1996 and was head coach in 1992. Schubert was an assistant for the combined men’s and women’s teams in 1980, 1984 and 1988. He was also the head coach of the 1982 U.S. World Championship team and was an assistant on the 1978, 1982, 1986, 1991, 1994, 1998 and 2003 World Championships staffs. With such extensive experience with America’s swimming elite, he was a natural pick when U.S. Swimming was looking for a permanent head coach. He was named the national team head coach and general manager by U.S. Swimming in March of 2006. In his 35-plus years of coaching prior to joining U.S. Swimming, Schubert placed 38 swimmers on U.S. Olympic teams; those athletes won 23 gold and 11 silver medals, plus eight world championship titles. Even more impressive, Schubert’s swimmers have broken 27 world and more than 115 American records and have won more than 200 U.S. national titles. Schubert produced success early in his career, first as head coach of the Mission Viejo Nadadores from 1972-85, where his teams won a record 44 U.S. National team titles during his tenure. He served as head coach of the Mission Bay Makos Swim Team in Boca Raton, Fla., which won nine national team titles from 1986-89. Schubert next worked as Texas’s head women’s coach from 1989-92, leading the Longhorns to two NCAA team titles (1990 and 1991). He was named NCAA Coach of the Year in 1990. His swimming-related duties include serving on the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA) Board of Directors since 1975. He is a former vice-president and member of the Board of Directors of the College Swim Coaches Association of America.
