ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year
Bob Hartwick from Wayne State University has been named the 2022 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year.
Hartwick has been around the Wayne State program nearly his whole life as he played and captained the Warriors in 1984 and 1985.
In 2017, Hartwick felt the pull back to the Warriors program and has left his mark ever since.
Throughout the 2021-22 season, Hartwick has helped the Warriors put together one of the best seasons in school history. Wayne State earned its highest ITA National Ranking in program history, while also claiming GLIAC regular season and tournament championships.
A Letter From Head Coach Bryan Morrow
Dear Bob,

You have been a tremendous help in the WSU tennis program’s success throughout the years. Your ability to help players in practice develop a well-rounded game is second to none. You are truly a student of the game of tennis and always looking for ways to improve each and every player. Having the stability in our coaching staff that you bring has helped the overall culture of our program.
The sacrifices that you make to the WSU tennis program on a daily basis are very much appreciated by the coaches, players and athletic department. I am so lucky to have you as an assistant coach and friend.
Congratulations on an honor that is well deserved.
Sincerely, Bryan
