    tennisballer - Lets leave it here, ALL the top female coaches in this country are more than difficult women and thats just the truth, its part of their character. Yet so few of the ones coming up today have these traits AND are talented & driven enough to compete one day for a NCAA trophy…I'm...

    ….no doubt Cohen is good but tough...all the really good ones are and if she were a man this wouldn't be such a problem? I guess all your male hero coaches are cakewalks right? I could name a few guys who have terrible reputations and whose exit interviews read like horror stories, but that's...

    Coaching changes

    It's curious why you continue to bash this coach, but frankly if you spoke with anyone at the top of women's tennis Roland, Brian K, Ronnie, Paige, Claire, Shelton, USTA national or USTA Florida they would disagree with your opinion strongly.

    Really it doesn't make a huge difference, you are either a good coach or you aren't. There are coaches in Div II schools that are every bit as good as some of your favorites on this board. They develop what they have and do the best they can in their school/program on the limited budget that is...

    Not sure where you are getting your info from but the truth is Texas was very impressed w/Cohen they just couldn't pull the trigger on someone that young with the scrutiny their athletic department is under right now. And yes many of the top coaches we have in the US were ALSO great players and...

    Well Silver Fox hope your happy, Texas should have hired someone like Audra Cohen, you didn't support that and now look what they've chosen! In the inner circles of college tennis Cohen is considered one of the most promising and respected young coaches. She had a unbelievable playing career...

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    I'm not saying a coach has to be an great active player now but it's important that they were once an exceptional player with a history of excellence and top level experience on the court... the truth is the confidence of a stellar playing career has built the foundation of many of this...

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    Almost every great college coach I know was a great player, but remember not every great player can be a great coach....look at Gigi Fernandez and a few others that shall not be named. These former pros without college experience don't make great college coaches because the college tennis is a...

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    "they should have someone else focus on technique, in the form of private lessons." Are you insane? Only a few players at the very top are using outside private coaching, this is a college tennis....not the juniors!

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    With all due respect Roman40, I don't need to read the want ads to see what head coaches do. But if you do that’s fine…just so we're clear, the job description you picked was for a Men's & Women's coach at a small Division II school in NY hardly a good example of the type of programs discussed...

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    Reading the responses I see on this board its obvious that many folks commenting have no real experience to back up their assumptions about college tennis. You would need to have been around a lot of college teams and players at both top programs and unranked programs to know what you are...

    How good of a player must a coach be in order to be successful?

    Florida tennis dude you are completely clueless and obviously don't understand college tennis, as a mom of a NCAA singles champ and now a winning head coach, I can tell you that unless you are tweaking or re-building strokes you are not really coaching and any administrator can do your job...
