COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Mark Weaver will remain as assistant coach for the Texas A&M women's tennis team, newly hired head women's tennis coach Howard Joffe has announced.
"I am delighted and very fortunate to have managed to retain Mark as our assistant coach at A&M," Joffe said. "Mark not only is one of the finest players to have played at Texas A&M, but he is also a bright, diligent and talented coach. I am confident that with Mark we will be able to elevate our women's team to new heights."
Weaver served as the women's assistant coach for the past four years under former head coach Bobby Kleinecke and helped direct the Aggies to NCAA tournament appearances every season. Previous to his hiring in the fall of 2007, Weaver had served as a volunteer assistant coach for the women's team for six seasons, including 2003 and 2004 when A&M won a Big 12 regular season title and a Big 12 tournament title.
"I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with Howard," Weaver said. "He is one of the best up-and-coming coaches in the nation, and we are fortunate to have him here in Aggieland. We share many common goals, and we will be striving to bring many championships back home to Texas A&M."
Weaver, a four-year letterwinner and starter at A&M from 1990-94 under former coach David Kent, completed his illustrious Aggie career with a record-setting .805 winning percentage in doubles. Weaver, who posted a 66-16 doubles record, also went 65-31 (.677) in singles during his career.
Weaver graduated from A&M in May 1995 with a bachelor's degree in psychology. The Shreveport, La., native then spent four years playing on the Futures and Challengers circuits and won 10 doubles championships.
