Florida's coaching decision puts UA men's tennis on rise

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Coach Andy Jackson will be in familiar surroundings when his men's tennis team plays at Florida today.

Jackson was Florida's coach for 11 years and led the Gators to a 90-32 SEC record and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances before being fired after the 2012 season.

Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long hired Jackson a year later to rebuild the program, and in his third season on the job Jackson has the No. 13 Razorbacks (13-3, 3-1 SEC) ranked in the top 15 of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll.

The Gators (7-4, 2-1) are ranked No.
