So what's the inside scoop on why OU is looking for a coach? Was it just wins and losses?
Not real sure but I tend to think it was because they weren't winning. Paul Lockwood was one of the good ones... He'll be overseeing the tennis facility for a few years so he can go into retirement gracefully.
Perhaps some of our fellow officials north of the Red River can give us a more informed view.
Is it just me, or do Michael Center and Matt Knoll look like they could be twins?
Coach Lockwood was one of the last coaches not hired by the current AD (Joe Castiglione). And after the golf coaches "retired" (both men & women) the following week then that cleans the slate except for women's softball and since Patty Gasso has won a National Championship (2000) then good ole Joe quickly adopted her as one of his own.
Lockwood was a savvy competitor (he truly earned that "King of Stack" title) and even though his teams were not at the top of the Big 12 they were not a rollover match either. Very competitive. He spent years working the alumni and the administration and finally got the funds put together for a great outdoor facility and now this year a fabulous indoor facility--the only one in the Big 12. And just think OU tennis had to spend 3 years at the Westwood public facility when football got the spot at the old varsity courts east of the stadium. Ouch!!
