LEADING THE KNIGHTS: Ira Miller returned for his third tenure as men’s and women’s tennis coach in August of 2005. The 2011-12 campaign marks his 15th season at the helm of Fairleigh Dickinson’s men’s squad and 14th year with the women’s team. In the fall of 2004, he was inducted into the Fairleigh Dickinson University Athletics Hall of Fame. Miller began coaching the Knights as head coach of the men’s team during the 1984-85 seasons and tackled the dual coaching role a year later. During his first stint at the Metropolitan campus, he guided both the men’s and women’s teams to a first-place finishes. He returned after graduate school to resume his role from 1994-98, leading the men’s team to three-straight conference titles. Miller has been named NEC Coach of the Year nine times, including winning it on the men’s and women’s side in 2012. He was also recognized in 2006, 2007, and 2008 with the men’s side. He was honored in 1995 and 1997 with the women’s program, while garnering acclaim in 1996 and 1998 with the men’s squad. In 1996, he guided the men’s team to the ECAC Southern Open Championship. Prior to Fairleigh Dickinson, Miller served as the head coach of both the men’s and women’s tennis programs at Drew University from 1998-2005. At Drew, Miller became the all-time winningest women’s coach in seven seasons at the helm. Miller graduated cum laude in 1977 from Clark University, where he was a four-year letter winner, with a B.A. in English and earned his MFA in screenwriting from the American Film Institute. He has taught at both Hofstra University and Fairleigh Dickinson and has published many instructional articles in leading tennis magazines. Jonathan Buchman is in his first season as Assistant Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Prior to joining FDU, Buchman served as Director of the High Performance Program at Ridgefield Tennis Club and Coach of the Ridgefield Boy’s Varsity High School Team in Ridgefield, CT. He has been Director of Competitive Training at the Four Seasons Racquet Club in Wilton, CT, Senior Teaching Professional at Ivan Lendl’s Grand Slam Tennis Club in Bedford, NY, and Head of Tennis Instruction at New England Tennis Camp in Pawling, NY. Buchman is a certified teaching professional by both the United States Professional Tennis Association and the Professional Tennis Registry and a member of the Connecticut Coaches Association. Buchman attended the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, FL, before graduating in 1984 from Trinity-Pawling High School in Pawling, NY, where he was a varsity team player and captain. He graduated in 1988 from Rollins College, in Winter Park, FL.

2011-2012 Season The Fairleigh Dickinson University men’s tennis team won its Northeast Conference record 11th NEC title this season with a 4-0 sweep over Monmouth in the finals.
Fairleigh Dickinson Athletics Hall of Fame member Ira Miller also led the women’s team to the NEC title, to help FDU become the first school to win both titles in the same season since Quinnipiac did it in 2006. In the history of the NEC, the sweep of the men’s and women’s titles has happened nine times, with the Knights accomplishing the feat in 1988.
After a 4-0 mark in the NEC during the regular season, the Knights swept all three rounds of the playoffs for their fourth NCAA berth and first since 2008. In round one, FDU will square off with Virginia, a team the Burgundy and Blue also faced in 2008.
For their performance, the NEC honored five FDU singles players with postseason awards in singles, while all three doubles teams were recognized as well.
Freshman Arvis Berzins became the second player in conference history to win NEC Player and Rookie of the Year in the same season. A five-time NEC Rookie of the Week selection, Berzins has gone 15-4 against No. 1 singles competition leading into the NCAA Tournament.
The Knights have won 11 of their last 12 matches entering the weekend as they look to become the first NEC team to win a match in the NCAA Tournament.
