Yes, he is Andy's Brother...but more important...he is one of the best coaches in the land...
as he lead OU to 3 straight National Championship Runner-up spots, including his last one less than a week ago...and last year, his team was the #1 overall seed in the country...and 4 time Big 12 Coach of the Year (over the last 7).
One of the main reason why the UCF Tennis Director (and Men Head Coaching) position that he took became so valuable is that the US Tennis Assoc (USTA) has moved their HQ to Orlando, FL and they are building a National 100 court plus top training facility in Lake Nona...and a major part of that complex will be UCF's NCAA new home...as they will have 12 special collegiate courts with specific high intensity lighting for made for TV broadcast...plus another tourn show court and then all the fixing, training rooms, locker rooms, etc...
Here is a rendering of UCF's new tennis home at the UTSA National Facility:

The collegiate tennis world is almost in a bit of SHOCK tonight on how UCF just secured one of the best college tennis coaches in the country...especially away from a deep pocket program like OU.
