In two seasons (fall 2012 and fall 2013) coaching the Detroit Country Day School boys tennis team, he's guided the Yellowjackets to back-to- back Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state champion- ships with record-tying dominance both times. Country Day scored 39 of a possible 40 points in both state tournaments. That's happened on only two other occasions in state tournament history. Ann Arbor Pioneer had 39 points in 2002 and 2005. Country Day was ranked the No. 1 boys tennis team in all classes in 2012 and 2013 by the Michigan High School Tennis Coaches Association. Molino, 26, was named the Oakland County boys tennis coach of the year in 2012 by the Oakland Press and Division 3 regional boys tennis coach of the year in 2013 by the coaches' association. He's actually been at Country Day for three seasons. He was an assistant coach in fall 2011, when the team won the first of what is now a three-year streak of state titles. Molino coached the Bloomfield Hills Andover girls tennis team for two seasons (spring 2012 and spring 2013) before losing the job because Andover consolidated with Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School. In those two seasons, Andover won two MHSAA regional champion- ships and finished fourth twice in the Division 2 state tournament. Molino will be coaching high school girls tennis next spring. He's been hired to coach at West Bloomfield High School. The West Bloomfield resident's coaching philosophy is simple, but obviously effective. "I want everyone to get better every time they're on the court," he said. Alex Gruskin was a member of the 2011 and 2012 Country Day state champion boys tennis teams and a state champion at No. 1 doubles both years. The University of Michigan fresh- man is a big fan of his former coach, calling him a "player's coach" who puts his team and players ahead of all else. And there's more. "Josh can teach you the technical stuff, of course, but what he's best at is knowing what to say to you during a match to calm you down or get you focused," Gruskin said. "He can be funny or he can be serious. "The mental part of your game is so important. It's very easy to over-think things in tennis and get off-track:' Gruskin remembers a coaching session with Molino during the No. 1 doubles state tournament semifinals in his junior season. After beating a team from arch- rival Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook- Kingswood 6-4 in the first set, Gruskin and his partner found themselves behind 5-2 in the second set. "Josh told us to calm down and think of the score being 0-0," Gruskin said. "That really helped us. We won the next five games, won the set 7-5 and the match. We would have lost the second set without Josh's help and who knows what might have happened in the third set:' Gruskin, a Franklin resident, is still playing competitive tennis on the U-M men's club team. Born in Detroit, Molino moved to Florida in 1994 and grew up in Weston, about 20 minutes west of Ft. Lauderdale. He played high school and junior tennis in the Sunshine State, and he graduated from the University of Central Florida, where he worked in the athletic department for two years in the communications office. He wrote stories on several UCF sports teams, was the assistant sports information director for women's golf and helped with media relations at home football and basketball games. It wasn't long after Molino moved back to Michigan in June 2011 that he was hired by Country Day. He also teaches tennis at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield. Tennis is in his blood — Armand Molino, his father, is a renowned area tennis coach — and he says it's his passion. "I heard a long time ago that if you love what you do, you'll be good at it," he said. "I love what I'm doing:' ❑ Please send sports news to sports@ thejewishnews.com .
