Mark Watt was named assistant women’s tennis coach at The University of Tulsa in July 2022 following two years as a volunteer assistant coach for the Golden Hurricane.
In his time at Tulsa, the women’s team has compiled a 65-65 record and a 50-28 record in the last three years as an assistant coach.
In 2024-25, Tulsa made it back to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2018. The Hurricane posted 19 wins on the year, including a 4-3 thriller over 27th-ranked and top-seeded Florida Atlantic in The American semifinal round. Watt helped coach two senior doubles tandems to individual titles, including Maria Berlanga Bandera and Lily Hutchings, who won the ITA Central Region to earn a bid to the NCAA Doubles Championships. Ana Naranjo Martinez and Mariana Manyoma Velasquez won the inaugural doubles title at the AAC Individual Championships, becoming the program’s first individual conference champions. Tulsa won the doubles point in 20 of 28 dual matches, and Berlanga was tabbed The American Player of the Year, the second conference player of the year under Watt.
Watt helped lead the 2023-24 Golden Hurricane team to the UTR Sports National Invitational (NIT) Tournament title, winning his first postseason national tournament in his 19th year leading the Golden Hurricane. The Hurricane prevailed in the eight-team tournament with a 4-0 sweep over Wyoming (quarterfinals), a thrilling 4-3 win over West Virginia (semifinals) that was clinched by eventual Women's MVP Ana Naranjo Martinez, and a decisive 4-2 decision over top-seeded Colorado in the final to claim the title for TU.
Before joining TU as a volunteer assistant coach in 2020, Watt spent one year as the tennis coach at the Strathgryffe Lawn Tennis Club in Scotland. He served as a volunteer assistant coach for the Duke women’s tennis team during the 2019 campaign.
Watt also served as assistant tennis coach at Coker University for the fall of 2018, while also serving as a tennis professional at Hartsville (SC) Country Club. Previously, he was a tennis coach at Hilton Head Island, working with players from 5-18 years old. Watt also served as head tennis coach and hitting partner for the U14-U18 national level tennis in Glasgow, Scotland.
Watt earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from Coker University and his master’s degree in business administration from Tulsa.
