Justin Stuckey was named Wittenberg's first-ever full-time men's and women's tennis coach in August 2008.
Stuckey came to Wittenberg from nearby Wright State University, where he served as a graduate assistant for the men's and women's tennis teams during the 2007-08 school year. He graduated from Wright State with a master's in education in 2008, a year after earning his bachelor's in sports management from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C.
Among the coaches who have influenced Stuckey, who held the No. 1 16-and-under national ranking in the American Tennis Assocation in 2001, are Rachel Fair, Tony Pack and James Cuthbertson, who guided him during his collegiate career at Johnson C. Smith. Stuckey helped Johnson C. Smith to an NCAA Division II postseason berth in 2004 and four straight conference championships. Individually, Stuckey played both singles and doubles in the 2004 NCAA Division II Tournament.
Stuckey was a team captain three straight years and team MVP in 2006 and 2007 while compiling career conference records of 61-5 in doubles and 55-11 in singles at Johnson C. Smith. Along the way, he won two conference doubles titles and finished second two other years, to go along with one conference singles title and three conference singles runner-up finishes. Stuckey began his coaching path during his college career by teaching tennis camps for elementary and high school students.
Stuckey is a native of Cincinnati, where he graduated from Moeller High School in 2003. He resides in Springfield.

Assigned to the post of Wittenberg University assistant men's and women's tennis coach since 1999, Brown is no stranger to the local tennis scene. A 1968 graduate of the University of Dayton, Brown previously served as boys' tennis head coach at Yellow Springs High School from 1990-95 and again in 1999. He also coached the girls' team from 1990-94. In boys action he never lost a conference match, and his teams compiled a record of 152-57 between them. He was twice voted Coach of the Year by the Miami Valley Tennis Coaches Association.
During his career at Wittenberg, Brown has helped mold some of the finest players in school history, including 2002 NCAC Men's Player of the Year Casey Clagett, 2002 NCAC Women's Newcomer of the Year Emily Figel and four-year all-conference standout Bryan Heft, all of whom qualified once for the national singles championships.
An active tennis player for many years, Brown also has had two daughters play in college. Renee played for Kenyon and graduated in 1998, while Erin played for the College of Wooster and graduated in 1999.
