For over a decade, the name Brian Boland has been synonymous with success.
Beginning with five seasons at Indiana State and over the past seven years at Virginia, Boland has proven to be one of the elite coaches in collegiate tennis.
The 2008 ITA National Coach of the Year, Boland led his alma mater to new heights before coming to Charlottesville and turning the Cavalier program into the dominant team in the ACC and a national powerhouse.
In 12 seasons as a head coach, Boland’s teams have won seven conference championships, participated in eight NCAA Championships, and have had 10 20-win seasons. Last year he led Virginia to the ITA National Team Indoor Championship, the first men’s tennis national championship in ACC history.
Boland has won six conference coach of the year awards and been named ITA Regional Coach of the Year three times. During that time. Boland has amassed a 290-73 (.799) career record.
As he enters his eighth season at Virginia, Boland has built a championship caliber program in Charlottesville. In his first seven seasons, he took a team that was unranked in the ITA Top 75 when he inherited it to a No. 1 national ranking. During that time, his teams won the ITA National Team Indoor Championship, four ACC Championships, five ACC regular season titles, advanced to the NCAA semifinals twice and the quarterfinals two other seasons, and set the school record for wins in a season. Those teams featured two NCAA Singles Champions, 12 All-Americans, 12 NCAA singles and six NCAA doubles participants, 20 All-ACC selections, two ITA National Players of the Year, three ITA Regional Rookies of the Year, two ACC Freshmen of the Year, four ACC Tournament MVPs, and an ACC Player of the Year.
