Directors

Coach Brad Pearce is in his fifth year as BYU men’s head coach. Pearce had a successful career on the professional tour that included nine titles and a quarterfinal singles appearance on center court at Wimbledon in 1990, losing to the No. 1 player in the world, Ivan Lendl, in four sets. He also had quarterfinal double appearances at both the Australian and U.S. Open Championships. In 1990, Pearce was selected as a traveling practice member of the U.S. Davis Cup Team. Pearce’s highest career ranking was 71 in singles and 23 in doubles. In his first full year as an assistant, Pearce helped Coach Osborne to a Mountain West Conference Championship in 2001, the first at BYU in 13 years. He was named the head coach after his fourth season of assisting Coach Osborne.

Coach Craig Manning, the 2001, 2005, and 2007 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year and 2005 Central Region Coach of the Year, will head his ninth season as head coach of the BYU women’s tennis team with a wealth of playing and coaching experience. Manning’s record as a coach is 127-68 (.651 winning percentage) over eight seasons and winner of four conference championships as head coach and one as an assistant coach coming into the 2007–08 season. An active participant in BYU tennis for the past 14 years, Manning played at BYU from 1991 to 1995. He finished his career as a Cougar with a 35-31 singles record and a 21-25 doubles record.
