Men's Tennis Coaches

David Schwarz, the head coach of the men’s tennis program at Middlebury for 10 years, was named the head men’s tennis coach at Brown in September 2010, in an announcement made by Brown Director of Athletics, Michael Goldberger.

“I am excited for the challenge of Division I and the Ivy League,” said Schwarz. “I am grateful for my time at Middlebury and had a great situation there, but I am leaving for another great situation. I am looking forward to getting started with the guys and being extremely competitive in the Ivy League.”

The most successful men’s tennis coach in Middlebury’s history, Schwarz concluded his 10^th season with an overall record of 174-37 (.825), while leading the Panthers to national prominence. Under Schwarz guidance, Middlebury won four straight NESCAC titles (2004-2007), winning its fifth and sixth titles in the past seven years in 2009 and 2010. His team made eight straight trips to the NCAA final four, with the 2004 squad capturing the school’s first NCAA Tennis Championship. Schwarz’s 2006 and 2007 teams set school records with 22 wins at the time, a mark that was eclipsed this spring when the Panthers earned a 23-2 mark en route to Middlebury’s second NCAA Tennis Championship.

The ITA Division III National Coach of the Year in 2004, Schwarz was named NESCAC Coach of the Year in 2002, 2004, 2007, and 2010, and earned ITA Regional Coach of the Year honors in both 2009 and 2010.

A 1989 graduate of Cornell, where he played four years of varsity tennis, Schwarz began his collegiate coaching career in the fall of 1996 as the Assistant Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach at Cornell. Following one year in that role, Schwarz was the Assistant Men’s Coach (1997-2000), spending the 1998-99 season as an assistant with the women as well. The Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2000, Schwarz was also the Managing Director of the Cornell Tennis & Squash Center.

Originally from Providence, Schwarz received a master’s degree from Cortland State in 1994.

Amit Inbar was named an assistant tennis coach at Brown in October of 2012. Inbar came to Brown after spending the 2011-12 season as a volunteer assistant coach at UCLA.  

A 2011 graduate of UCLA, with a degree in International Development Studies, Inbar was a three-year member of the men’s tennis team (2009-2011) after competing for the University of Maryland in 2008-09. While at UCLA, Inbar competed in two NCAA Championships, advancing to the Second Round of the 2011 Singles Championship and to the Round of 16 in the 2010 Doubles Championship, earning All-America honors. The Bruins’ MVP in 2010, Inbar was a recipient of a PAC-10 post-graduate scholarship in 2011. He was also a two-time Second Team All-Pac-10 honoree, earning recognition in both 2010 and 2011. In three years at UCLA, Inbar accumulated 69 singles wins and 71 doubles victories, ending his career ranked 50^th in the nation in singles and 66^th in doubles.

A native of Tel Aviv, Israel, Inbar served three years (2003-2007) in the Israeli Army (Air Force Division). He has also worked as a Tennis Instructor at several clubs and camps since the summer of 2009
