Men’s Tennis Gets New Head Coach

Kevin Brandalik has been tapped as the Bulldogs new head coach succeeding Paul Marcum at the helm.
Brandalik comes to Ferris from Valrico, Fla., where he was director of tennis for the KB Tennis Academy. Brandalik was the United States Professional Tennis Association 1998 North Carolina Pro of the Year and USPTA 1993 Virginia Pro of the Year. In Valrico, Baldalik was charged with developing, managing and directing a high-level junior tennis academy in one of the most competitive markets in the country.
“We’re excited to have Kevin join our athletics family,” said Athletics Director Tom Kirinovic. “He has an experienced and varied background in the tennis industry and is a capable replacement to fill the shoes of Paul Marcum.
“I’m ecstatic about this position,” Brandalik said. “The challenge of continuing Ferris’ great tennis tradition and being able to influence student-athletes in a positive way is extremely appealing.”
Marcum registered a 74-31 (.705) career coaching record during his four seasons as head coach. Marcum was the 2000 GLIAC Coach of the Year, and led the Bulldogs to three consecutive (2000-02) NCAA Division II National Tournament appearances and the 1999 league title and guided the team to the 2001 NCAA Division II World Team Tennis Championship at the inaugural Wingspanbank.com National Small College Tennis Championships.
