Originally Published 2 years ago — by Arizona Desert Swarm

Arizona's athletic director Dave Heeke has been ousted from his position, with former softball coach Mike Candrea stepping in as interim AD. Heeke's departure comes amid allegations of financial and operational mismanagement, including a reported athletic department financial "disaster" and mishandling of former coach Jedd Fisch's contract. Candrea, a highly respected figure in Arizona's sports history, will lead the department during the transition as the university begins a national search for a new Director of Athletics.
