University of Tampa



This has got to be the worst tennis school in the history of Florida tennis.  This is my alma matter and I am embarrassed to even be affiliated with this University.  The girl's team is awful, I mean absolutely tragic.  In 10 years DuFaux the current coach has one winning season.  I mean, ummm basically that means you should be FIRED!  Give me a break! Get someone in there who has a clue.  

There is also no men's tennis team because the athletic director has no balls.  The AD does not have the balls to put together a men's tennis team and pitch that to whomever manages new teams. 

The school also only has six tennis courts and they are not even updated on paint colors.  I am sorry, but please for the love of god, fire the women's coach, get a men's team, add at least four more courts, paint the courts the proper colors and give the coaches a reasonable salary.  

A school like University of Tampa should have a high quality tennis team, like Rollins.  This is a disgrace and please contact Ronald Vaughn and ask him to reach into the deep pockets of UT.edu to bring in some skills on the tennis front.  They throw up new buildings left and right and the school costs a fortune, I should know I spent four years there.  

The truth is I asked the school to link my site onto theirs.  Not like it would drive any traffic but only because it was my undergrad.  Well the sports guy said yes and then did not do it which means he has no integrity.  He should have said no to save his ass.  Then I get a call back saying the coach wants kickbacks.  Silly bastards, this is why our economy is in the dumpster.

Keep your eye on Lauren Holt though, this girl crushed us in High School tennis when I was coaching winning seasons then.  Now she can't manage to win a match, I blame the coaching with no doubt!

On a serious note, if you fire this guy I will coach the girl's team free of charge and guarantee a winning season, and will raise enough money to bring in new courts and new colors.  This offer is on the table kids...
