Dominic Cotrone

Dominic "Dom" Cotrone was promoted by Sun Devil men's tennis head coach Matt Hill to assistant coach in July of 2020 after serving as a volunteer coach with the program. Cotrone starred at Florida State from 2011-14 before transferring to South Florida for the 2015-16 season where he competed under Hill. "I am very excited to step into the assistant coaching position," said Cotrone when he was promoted. "We have an amazing group of players and the sky is the limit. I could not be more excited for what the future holds for this program, and I am ready to get to work. Go Devils!" "We are so excited to promote Dom to full time assistant," added Hill.  "He has been with us since beginning and has been an integral part of the early success we have had. He brings a lot of tools to the table and will keep us going in the right direction. Dom has a great feel for the game and our current players are really excited. We had a lot of competition for this spot, but it was clear Dom is the right choice for this program at this time." The Bradenton, Fla. native became the second All-American in USF history, advancing to the round of 16 at the NCAA singles tournament during his senior season (2015-16) while posting a 13-7 singles record. Cotrone was the No. 1-ranked junior tennis player in Florida and highest recruit in Florida heading into college in 2011. At FSU, he played at No. 1 singles and doubles, was team captain, and received First Team All-ACC honors. In 2016, after transferring to USF to join Hill, he was ranked one of the best American players in college tennis based on his UTR (14.34). Following his illustrious collegiate career, Cotrone  went on to win four professional doubles titles before coming to Tempe. YES DOMINIC! He breaks Friedrich and wins 7-5, 6-3 to become an All-American! That's TWO today! pic.twitter.com/ZLouPKJRPQ — USF Men's Tennis (@USFMTEN) May 26, 2016
