BLOOMINGTON, Ind.– IU head coach Ramiro Azcui has announced Austin Roebuck as an assistant coach with the Indiana women's tennis program.
Roebuck comes to Bloomington after two years as a volunteer assistant with the Georgia Tech women's tennis program.
Roebuck arrived at Georgia Tech for the 2019-20 women's tennis season, helping the Yellow Jackets to a 15-6 overall record and 5-2 ACC ledger before the remainder of the season was canceled due to Covid-19. Tech finished the season ranked No. 9 nationally and picked up wins over seven nationally-ranked opponents, including No. 13 South Carolina, No. 12 Ohio State, No. 9 Virginia and No. 12 Wake Forest. The shortened 2019-20 season was highlighted by a trip to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships where Tech upended No. 12 Ohio State, 4-1, to reach the quarterfinals.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Austin and his family to our program," IU head coach Ramiro Azcui said. "Austin's background of personal experience and recent coaching exposure will make a quick and significant impact on our players and team. His eagerness to get started and become a Hoosier will positively influence our player development and program's future. Welcome to the IU Family Austin. Go Hoosiers!"
Prior to his arrival with the Yellow Jackets, Roebuck served as the volunteer assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis programs at Kennesaw State for the spring 2019 campaign. While with the Owls, he helped develop practice plans, served as an on-court coach for home dual matches, provided statistical analysis on matches and assisted with travel logistics.
Roebuck has also held stints at the ATi Tennis Academy as the managing partner and director and served as a USTA Team Coach.
"It is an honor to join the Hoosier family," Roebuck said. "I am grateful to Coach Azcui for the opportunity to be part of a university that strives for excellence in all areas, both on and off the court. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from him as we work together to develop our players and enable them to reach their full potential as both students and athletes. I can't wait to be a part of this great program! I would also like to thank Georgia Tech, Coach Harmon, and the incredible players I had the pleasure of coaching for two rewarding seasons."
A four-year letterwinner for Georgia Tech men's tennis, Roebuck played under head coach Kenny Thorne from 2006-09. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in general management from Georgia Tech in May 2012.
Austin comes to Bloomington with his wife Kara. They were married in 2015 and have a one-year-old son, Wilson.
