FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University Director of Athletics
Michael Mominey announced today that head women's tennis coach
Dr. Michael Coleman has resigned after 10 seasons with the Sharks.
"I want to thank Michael for his 10 years of dedicated service and commitment to the department of athletics at NSU," Mominey said. "Through his tireless work ethic, he restarted our women's tennis program that quickly gained national recognition by competing in one of the toughest regions in the country. We hope to continue that tradition Michael has established for years to come."
With department of athletics recently joining the NCAA and only one year away from competing in the prestigious Sunshine State Conference, Coleman came to NSU in 2003 with the mission of restarting the women's tennis program. During his tenure, he amassed a 119-104 record for a .534 winning percentage while competing in one of the nation's toughest tennis regions.
There were many highlights to Coleman's career at NSU, which included three berths in the NCAA South Region Tournament in 2004, 2006 and 2007. The 2007 season was Coleman's best with the team, as he finished 22-3 and ranked No. 8 in the top-25, while also earning the program's first-ever regional host bid.
Over his career, the NSU tennis program collected six All-America honors and 19 national scholar athlete honors from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), recognizing athletes with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
A national search for the program's next head coach will begin immediately.
