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. He follows legends Bill Ackerman (1921-50), J.D. Morgan (1951-66) and Glenn Bassett (1967-93). 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. Kohlloeffel became the Bruins’ 10th singles champion, and the first since Martin captured the title back in 1975. Kohlloeff el’s victory put his coach in an elite category, as Martin joins Georgia’s Manny Diaz as the only other active head coach to earn the career “triple crown” by leading their schools to three diff erent titles at the NCAA Championships Martin’s Career Coaching Record (1994-2009) (team, singles and doubles). Martin’s doubles title came when he coached Justin Gimelstob and Srdjan Muskatirovic to the championship in 1995. Overall Pac-10 Pac-10 NCAA In just his fi rst season as head coach, Martin guided the Bruins to their third Year Record Record Finish Finish consecutive NCAA Semifi nal appearance and an overall record of 22-6. He 1994 22-6 (.786) 7-3 (.700) 3rd T-3rd enjoyed an equal amount of success in his second year, as he led the Bruins
