Steve Ascher has stepped down from his position as head coach of the men’s and women’s tennis programs at Portland State to take a position at The University of Montana. Ascher will be in charge of the women’s tennis program in Missoula.

The 2007-08 tennis season was the first at Portland State since the program was initially cut after the 2002-03 season. Ascher was hired to rebuild the program in 2006. Last year, the Vikings men’s team finished with a 5-17 record, 1-7 in conference play, and the women’s team went 6-17 with a 2-6 record in the Big Sky. Four of the seven members on the men’s team were true freshmen, and the women’s team was composed entirely of freshmen last season.

The Portland State athletics department has begun a nation-wide search to fill the head coaching position.

With that kind of record, are you really sad to lose the guy?

Didn't we only start a tennis program a couple of years ago? If so, then he was probably pretty valuable in starting things from scratch.
 
He was a first year coach for a first year program - he recruited all the players for this last year, all of them. As freshmen they didn't do all that badly. That he jumped ship after a year probably only means that PSU is paying him a very low salary, and Montana can afford a decent one. And face it, Montana has rightly or wrongly a rep and we don't. Not yet, anyway.
