Clancy Shields
Camp Director
Clancy Shields is in his second year as head men's tennis coach at University of Arizona, after spending the previous three seasons as the head coach at Utah State.
In 2016 at Utah State, Shields led the Aggies to the 2016 Mountain West title and was named Wilson/ITA Mountain Region Coach of the Year and MWC Coach of the Year.
Shields helped take a USU program that won nine matches in his first year to one that set school records for victories in both his second (18) and third (21) seasons. The Aggies increased their national relevance under his tutelage as they climbed as high as No. 62 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings during Shields' second season, which was a program record, before they reached No. 56 last season. In addition, Shields mentored four All-Mountain West performers and the 2016 Mountain West Player of the Year during his tenure.
Off the court at USU, Shields helped proctor nine Academic All-Mountain West honorees and four Mountain West Scholar-Athletes, who are recognized for maintaining at least a 3.5 GPA, during his first two seasons (2015-16 data not available). In addition, the Aggies were named an ITA All-Academic team in 2014.
Prior to his time at USU, Shields served as an assistant coach at Boise State from 2010-13, helping the Broncos to back-to-back Mountain West Championships. The Broncos advanced to their third NCAA Tournament with Shields in 2013.
During his four years as an assistant at Boise State, Shields helped coach 10 players to all-conference recognition, including the 2013 Mountain West Player of the Year as well as a Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year honor. In 2013, Shields was instrumental in helping BSU sign the No. 11 recruiting class nationally.
As a student-athlete at Boise State, Shields was named the 2009 WAC Player of the Year and earned All-WAC first-team honors for both doubles and singles play seven times. He led the Broncos to three WAC titles (2006, '07, '09) and an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. Shields was ranked as high as No. 17 in singles and No. 11 in doubles by the ITA.
A 2010 graduate of Boise State with a degree in kinesiology, Shields was a four-time Academic All-WAC honoree and a first-team Academic All-American in 2007.
