Associate head coach Bart Scott is entering his third season working with the University of Oregon men’s tennis program.
Hired in 2006 by Director of Tennis Nils Schyllander, Scott brings a well-stocked resume of both collegiate and professional experience.
“I’m thrilled to be coaching and working alongside Nils Schyllander and the University of Oregon men’s tennis program for the second year,” Scott says. “I am proud to be a Duck, and honored to be a part of this great young team. We will be working hard day-in and day-out to make sure we get the most out of our student-athletes; on the court and in the classroom.”
Before making the move to Oregon, Scott spent time playing professional tennis, and was a two-time singles champion (2005 & 2006) at the Denver City Open and the Boulder Open (2005 & 2006).
He earned his first ATP World Ranking in February of 2004, competing in only his second professional tennis tournament. Scott also spent time as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, during the 2003-04 season, helping guide the squad to the 2004 Mountain West Conference championship.
A four-year letter-winner for the Lobos, Scott graduated from New Mexico in 2003 with a B.A. in English.
During his collegiate career, he helped build UNM into one of the most successful men’s tennis programs in the Lobos’ history, winning conference titles and gaining national exposure.
While at New Mexico, Scott was part of three conference title squads, including helping the Lobos win its first ever MWC championship, registering the last point in a victory over San Diego State during his freshman season (2000).
During his time with the Lobos, Scott was a five-time all-MWC performer, and ranked in the country’s top 30 for both singles and doubles. His 90 victories at UNM also rank third in the Lobos’ all-time history.
As a junior in 2002, Scott was one of 32 collegiate players to qualify for the National Indoor Championships, and as a senior, he won the Region VII Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award.
In 2001, he was named the Colorado Collegiate Player of the Year and twice ranked as the top player in the state of Colorado, as well as being twice named the Colorado Tennis Association Player of the Year,
On Sept. 25th, 2006 Bart married the former Kaley Morris in Eugene, Oregon.
Born on February 3, 1981 in Pueblo, Colo., to Robert and Andrea Scott, Bart grew up and played high school tennis in Colorado Springs at Mitchell High School. He graduated from Mitchell in May of 1999.
