Coach Settles took over the helm of the Stags tennis program in the fall of 2003. In five seasons, Settles has guided the Stags to four top six Division III national rankings, four SCIAC conference championships, and consecutive appearances in the NCAA team and individual championships.

Settles is a USPTA certified P1 professional and a graduate of the USTA High Performance Coaching Course. Each summer Settles serves as a coach for the Southern California Maze Cup Team (Boys and Girls 16s and 18s) against Northern California and is a member of the Player Services staff for the Countrywide Classic ATP professional tournament in Los Angeles. Coach Settles also directs summer and winter junior tennis camps at the CMS tennis courts.

Settles has served as a volunteer member of two USTA national committees, the Collegiate and Adult & Senior Competition Comittees. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association and as a member of the ITA Small College Operating Committee, and co-chairs the ITA task force on NCAA Legislative Issues.

Before coming to CMS, Settles served until 2003 as Director of Player Services of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the governing body of men’s professional tennis. At the ATP, Settles’ wide range of responsibilities included supervision of the Player Services Department, staff liaison for the ATP Player Council, Player Leadership Committee, and Board of Directors; and serving as founding committee member of the ATP Medical Services Committee.

Still an active player himself in the adult and family divisions, Settles is winner of 12 USTA National Championships. Paul, and wife Kathy - an Assistant Coach for CMS women's team - have four children: Ryley, Christian, James, and Caleb.

Hank Krieger's name is synonymous with CMS Stags Tennis. Coach Krieger was inducted into the CMS Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004, recognizing a twenty-two season coaching tenure in which the Stags won over 400 matches. During that time his overall winning percentage was .647 and his SCIAC winning percentage was .865. Twice named the NCAA Division III Coach of the Year (in 1985 and 1993), Krieger was at the helm for the Stags only national championship (in 1981) has coached 24 All-Americans.

After retiring from teaching mathematics at Harvey Mudd College in May, 2005, Krieger is still actively working on several academic projects, as well as serving on a handful of community based committees and boards. His contribution as team consultant, historian, and part-time coach continues to be invaluable.

Hank and his wife Rita live in Claremont. They have two grown children and four grandchildren.
