BOB CALLAHAN ’77, the longtime men’s squash coach who led Princeton to three national championships and 11 Ivy titles, died Jan. 27 at age 59. Callahan was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2012, weeks after his team’s come-from-behind win in the national title match that ended Trinity College’s 13-year championship reign. Callahan coached for 32 seasons, mentoring hundreds of Princeton players, including all five of his sons and the sport’s only four-time collegiate champion, Yasser El Halaby ’06.
