NEW YORK (AP) — Want to know how good ****** Gould's teams were at Stanford? The answer was right there on his shoes.
Gould returned to the U.S. Open on Saturday and was honored during the first match of the night session. The longtime coach, who had John McEnroe among his many future pros, hadn't been back to the event in years but his former players wanted to celebrate him this year.
Gould wore specially designed Nike sneakers that were made for him for the occasion. White and cardinal red, one had a 17 on it, signifying his total of NCAA national championships, with his record of 776-148 on the tongue.
"I loved coaching. I really enjoyed working with the age group, especially the 18 to 22-year-olds," Gould said. "It's the first time away from their parents, and you want to be independent, and the other hand, you can't quite be, and sometimes some poor advice to help navigate things with you in a subtle way."
Gould was at Stanford from 1966-2004. Only four coaches at any level of college, men's or women's, won as many national ****** les, and his players won 17 individual NCAA championships. Some of his best, topped by McEnroe and twins Mike and Bob Bryan, went on to win multiple Grand Slam ****** les.
