Ex-Notre Dame tennis coach Tom Fallon dead at 93

Published Oct 20, 2010

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Retired 31-season Notre Dame men's tennis coach Tom Fallon has died. He was 93.

The university said he died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in South Bend.

Fallon's 579 wins as tennis and wrestling coach are the most ever for an Irish coach.

He led the tennis team to a share of the NCAA tennis championship in 1959. He coached the team from 1957 to 1987, with a record of 514-194.

Fallon also founded the Irish's wrestling team in 1952 and coached it for 15 years, leading it to a 65-74-4 record.

Fallon and wife Eleanor have three children. Visitation is Sunday at Kaniewski Funeral Home, and a funeral Mass is Monday at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the university campus.
