I respectfully ask the NCAA tennis oversight committee to reevaluate the 10 year commitment that was made to Orlando. A decision that was essentially made behind closed doors without giving any campus sites an opportunity to bid on any of those years. I haven't met one athlete, coach, or fan that prefers this tournament be played on off campus sites.

Technically, the player has to request a MTO. The chair calls the trainer to court for evaluation and potential treatment. Chair administers timing and penalties. Then resumes plays.
ITA rulebook section I.K.1 for MTOs (dual matches).
Was there an injury treated?

Head official came out and said Badenhorst had to take a medical time out. Thus, Gorzny still had to serve out the game after going up 15-0 for the MTO point penalty.

I can't believe this isn't all over higher ed twitter.
The AIM Committee votes May 18-22 on rewriting US accreditation. (Lower barriers for new accreditors, outcomes-based standards, peer-review elimination, intellectual diversity mandates.)

The best coaches I’ve worked with never acted like they had all the answers.
They stayed coachable.
Reflection may be the most underrated leadership skill.

I didn’t always get planned giving right.
Not because we didn’t believe in it—but because we were busy.
In athletics, “later” usually means never.
The shift:
Don’t add more work.
Go deeper in the conversations you’re already having.

The more I look at this, the more I think:
The issue isn’t donor willingness.
It’s how we structure the conversation.
Most donors are ready for “now later” discussions earlier than we think.

Most leaders don’t have a failure problem.
They have a diagnosis problem.

When you misdiagnose failure, you solve the wrong problem.
And performance doesn’t improve.

Coaching changes that.
It helps leaders slow down, question assumptions, and see what’s actually happening.

I’ve always been told never to say no to an opportunity.
Over the last 5⃣ years at the WAC, I’ve had the chance to step into the play-by-play chair and call everything from volleyball, softball, and baseball to basketball, track & field, tennis, and swimming & diving.
Grateful for every rep and every moment behind the mic.
Now, as I look ahead to what’s next: if you’re looking for a play-by-play voice, I’m ready.
Let’s connect 🎙️
