Danny Westerman, a former all-Big Ten Conference player for the Badgers, was named coach of the University of Wisconsin men’s tennis team on Monday. He returns to UW after nine years as coach at the University of Denver.
“We’re extremely excited to welcome Danny back to campus,” UW athletic director Barry Alvarez said in a statment. “He had great success during his playing career at Wisconsin and we’ve followed and admired his accomplishments at the University of Denver. Danny pairs a winning attitude, head coaching experience and a passion for Badgers athletics that makes him a natural for this position.
