Last night I recieved a call from my editor at the Daliy News about the women's tennis coach getting fired. She broke NCAA vilolations to add to the winless Mid-American Conference season that she had last year. It's depressing as another problem has emerged from the athletic department. I interviewed the women's tennis coach last year after thier team lost to Eastern Michigan University 3-4. You could tell that she was tired of losing in her voice alone. Some coaches will resort to breaking the rules when it comes to making a comeback.
This is the women's tennis team. Winning and losing are not as important for a coaches job security in this sport as it is for a more public sport like football. With tennis all the coach has to do is follow the rules and graduate players. A tennis program is not going to define a university. That is for sure.
