I think you're mistaken there.

7 of the top 10 and 23 of the top 100 juco women play in Texas
6 of the top 20 juco women's teams are in Texas

4 of the top 10 and 27 of the top 100 juco men play in Texas
The top 3 juco men's teams in the nation are in Texas

He's not going anywhere. Trust me. He's got it too good here.
quote:

He began his tenure in Tyler in 1987, and his teams have experienced great success throughout the years. Men's tennis has won ten national championships under Coach Peterson, and women's tennis has nine national championships to their credit since 1987. In December of 2000, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association named Coach Peterson the Junior College National Coach of the Decade. He was the only coach named coach of the decade in both the men's and women's division.



This hasn't been update with this year's results

Ok so honest question. All BK haters aside, how would these JuCo players typically stack up in a D-1 lineup?

Kind of depends. My son played JUCO and his school won men's and women's national championships. The women's number 1 went to a western school and had a top 25 ITA ranking. Another girl who played 4 or 5 went to UTSA and played about the same. A guy who played number three at his JUCO played at 1 or two on a respectable Div 1 school. The JUCO kids are almost all foreign so there lot's of issues at play.

yeah, that's what I'm talking about, too. Collin County, TJC, and Laredo all have good guys teams. Add Temple and Lee to those for schools with good women's teams too.

I heard that there is a new rule starting this year or the next where they are not letting folks who have played more than 5 or 6 pro events become eligible to play JuCo...basically trying to do away with JuCos being full of foreign pros. Obviously the JuCo level is going to drop a ton but on a positive note, more American kids will get a chance to extend their tennis careers a bit without having to compete with 23 year-old Serbians.
