Jim Bayless says about Coach Snyder ;

In 1972, Snyder was named the 3rd coach ever at the University of Texas, replacing the retiring Wilmer Allison. At UT, Coach Snyder’s teams won nine conference titles, including the first three Big 12 titles, and qualified for NCAA championship play in 22 of his 28 seasons. His teams compiled an impressive number of dual-match victories—536 (represents 75% of dual-matches played)—during his time at UT.

When Snyder retired, he was ranked second among tennis coaches with an all-time victory total of 697 match wins. His consistency as a head coach led to him being named the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association’s National Coach of the Year in 1985. He retired in 2000 as the winningest active NCAA Division I men’s tennis coach and ranked No. 2 on the all-time victories list with his 697 career wins. He was inducted into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Hall of Fame in 2001. Snyder is also enshrined in the University of Texas Hall of Honor, the Texas Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Missouri Valley Hall of Fame.

Coach Snyder played tennis for the Longhorns in the 1950s and was the Longhorn tennis head coach from 1973-2000 .
