NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion University has hired Dominik Mueller as the Monarchs’ men’s tennis head coach, Director of Athletics Dr. Wood Selig announced on Friday. Mueller was an assistant coach at Baylor the last five seasons.
“The committee was impressed with his body of work as a student-athlete and a coach,” Senior Associate Athletic Director Bruce Stewart stated. “Dominik has been categorized as a “player’s coach” and comes from a winning tradition at Baylor. He has been a proficient recruiter while maintaining a solid reputation for developing student-athletes.”
In 2016, he helped lead the Bears to a final ranking of No. 32. In 2015, Baylor advanced to the NCAA semifinals with a 25-6 mark and finished the year with a final ranking of No. 3. The Bears won the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles in 2014, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals and finishing with a final ranking of No. 6.
“First of all, I need to thank the hiring committee and everyone involved for putting their trust in me,” said Mueller. “When I visited, I loved the campus and the people, so it’s a great match. The vision of President John R. Broderick, as well as the athletic department led by Dr. Wood Selig are first-class. My wife, son and myself can’t wait to move to town.”
Mueller was a part of four Big 12 regular season championships as a coach and recruited and coached seven All-Americans.
Baylor’s all-time winningest singles player with 96 dual match victories, Mueller was the 2008 Baylor male Academic Student-Athlete of the Year and was a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2010.
