Coach

Bartlett became the head basketball coach at Lenoir City 1953 and ushered in the “Golden Era” of Lenoir City basketball. As a 4 year letterman, Captain and All SEC guard in basketball and 4 year letterman, Captain and All SEC in tennis, he brought all his coaching and teaching talents to Lenoir City that would have a lasting influence for several years. His 1955 team swept the District and Region and lost in the State Tournament semi-final game to a strong Kingsport. His 4 year coaching record at Lenoir City was 97-20. He later coached Carson Newman, Chattanooga, The University of Tennessee and the University of Florida. He continued his love for sports by winning the tennis National Senior Singles Championship and the National Seniors Doubles Championship.  Currently, he is a member of the College Tennis Hall of Fame, Southern Tennis Hall of Fame, Tennessee Tennis Hall of Fame, Southern Tennis Hall of Fame and the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. This year he received the senior Cup “Diamond Award”, the crown jewel of adult tennis of the Southern Tennessee Association. In 2007 he was elected to the prestigious United States Professional Tennis Association Hall of Fame, being the only recipient that year. His awards and accolades are so many that they cannot all be listed here but his most amazing stats are his career coaching records - BASKETBALL – 477 wins and only 159 losses (75.8%) and TENNIS – 606 wins and only 93 losses (86.6%). He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2006.
