A Trainer Of Champions

When he arrived, he had no players but his ability to recruit top talent and persuade them to sign for a small liberal arts school with a brand new tennis program, rather than sign for one of the nations elite programs was a speciality of his.  Mabry developed ten players into All-Americans, and seven made it into the Trinity Hall-of-Fame, including Chuck & Bob McKinley, Dick Stockton, Frank Conner, Frank Froehling, Butch Newman, Cliff Buchholz, Brian Gottfried, John Newman

One of the most amazing developments that occured during his time as Coach, was Chuck McKinleys Wimbledon success in 1962. In doing so, McKinley became the first player in history to win Wimbledon while still in college, a remarkable feat that will never be achieved again. 

Other successes that were down to Mabry's leadership include Butch Newman's appearances at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, as well as being captain of the U.S. Davis youth cup team.

The tennis programs success in 1972 was the least that Mabry deserved. A legendary coach that produced such amazing talent, he finally got his hands on the trophy, defeating the reigning champions Stanford in the final in Georgia.
