The MBU men's tennis team is under new leadership for 2009. Jim Graham, who previously served as an Assistant Coach for both the MBU men's and women's teams last year, has stepped into the role of Head Coach this season. Former Head Coach Lloyd Brown has taken on a new role as the Director of Tennis Operations for both programs at MBU.

Coach Graham brings a wealth of coaching experience to his new position, having served as a high school coach for many competitive programs in the St. Louis area for years. He has coached at Cor Jesu Academy, Visitation Academy, and Bishop DuBuorg High School.

Coach Graham is a USPTA Ceritfied Teaching Professional. He is not only a teacher of the game of tennis, but he also actively plays. He competed in a USTA Senior Sectional Match in Oklahoma City this past weekend.

Aside from tennis, Coach Graham has also spent time in public office, having served as an alderman from 1984-1986 and  as the mayor of Fenton, Missouri from 1987-1989.
