Again, Cards get two great recruiting classes for '22 and '23 but unless the culture and coaching is changed, no progress will be made towards a national championship. Its no different that the two previous year recruiting classes being top in the country (pre season team ranked in top 5), and yet with all the recruiting success the best Goldstein has managed is a measly round of 16 NCAA (only 3 times in his 10-year tenure at stanford), and one outright Pac12 championship title (when Boyer was there). Goldstein has zero coaching skills and has no idea how to develop players and no idea how to run a practice or motivate players. The team doesnt even have a dedicated tennis-centric strength and conditioning trainer (they share with other teams). The fact that Geller, who was #1 in the world in juniors with a 142 MPH serve isn't playing pro is a sad tragedy and sad testament to the extremely poor coaching - its almost impossible to F-up a world #1 ranked junior!. If you can't win a national championship with Geller Boyer Fery Sridhar Roetsart Sah Basing, etc., you can't win with any team! To put it factually, when looking at player data and results, Goldstein is the worst coach in Stanford history. The highest ATP ranked player he has coached in his 10 years at stanford is Tom Fawcett at 440atp - that is just pitiful. Geller's high was 536 atp. What a joke and so disappointing to see such great player talent getting wasted. With all the resources stanford has they should have world class coaching and world class player development and world class personnel
