Frank Polito was named assistant coach for Kansas University’s tennis team Tuesday, marking his second stint with the Jayhawks.
“I am thrilled to have Frank on staff,” KU coach Amy Hall said. “With his knowledge of the national and international field of players, as well as his instructional on-court expertise, he will be a great weapon for us.”
Polito served as interim head coach for KU in 1996, after former coach Chuck Merzbacher left for Ohio State. He later was named assistant coach of the men’s team.
He had been working with junior tennis players in Ohio for the last six months. Polito has been head coach at Akron and Louisiana-Monroe.
