The 1996 ITA National Coach of the Year, Martin brings a 366-72 (.836) record into his 26th season on the Bruin coaching staff . Martin served as an assistant coach at UCLA for 10 years prior to being elevated to his current status as only the fourth head coach in Bruin tennis history.

Martin, who in 16 seasons has never had a team fi nish out of the top 5 at the NCAA Championships, led UCLA to the school’s 16th NCAA men’s ten- nis title in 2005. The Bruins upset top-seeded Baylor, 4-3 in the title match that season with a thrilling come-from-behind victory in College Station, Texas. It marked UCLA’s fi rst national title in men’s tennis since 1984, and followed a string of near misses at the NCAAs during Martin’s fi rst 12 years as head coach. In 16 years of coaching, Billy Martin has never had a team Another significant achievement in Martin’s career came during the 2006 place lower than fi fth at the NCAA season, as he coached Ben Kohlloeffel to a straight-set win over Virginia’s Championships Somdev Devvarman in the title match at the NCAA Singles Championships.
