AUSTIN — Head Men's Tennis Coach Michael Center has been dismissed from The University of Texas, Vice President and Athletics Director Chris Del Conte said on Wednesday. The dismissal is effective immediately and Associate Head Coach Bruce Berque will continue as the Longhorns' interim head coach. All other members of the UT Men's Tennis staff will remain in place, as well.
"After working with campus leaders to review the recent situation with Michael Center, we have decided to relieve him of his duties as our Men's Tennis coach," Del Conte said. "It's a very difficult decision, and we are grateful for the years of service that he has provided, but winning with integrity will always be paramount at The University of Texas, and it was a decision that had to be made.
