UCLA?s Tennis coach Glenn Bassett to retire
LOS ANGELES ? Glenn Bassett, the nation?s winningest college tennis coach, announced Wednesday he will retire immediately to take advantage of a one-time UCLA early-retirement program that earns the retiree additional service credit.
Bassett will serve as head coach during the 1993 season under a special coaching agreement.
Bassett is in his 27th year as UCLA?s head coach. His overall dual-match record is 568-89-2. His teams have won seven NCAA team championships, 13 conference championships and have never had a losing season.
Bassett was a three-year letterman at UCLA from 1948-1950 and was a captain when UCLA won its first NCAA team tennis title in 1950. That was UCLA?s first team championship in any sport.
He is the only man in NCAA history to win an NCAA tennis title as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
