Bob "Chino" Chiene is beginning his seventh season as the head coach of the Pacific women's tennis program. Over the past three seasons, Chiene's Tigers battled injuries and now appear poised for a run at the Big West Conference title. From 2006-2008 Chiene guided to a combined 23-40 record as injuries and a limited roster forced Pacific to concede points during the season because of a lack of healthy bodies. In the Big West the Tigers posted a combined 5-17 record in those three seasons. During his third season in the spring of 2005, Chiene guided the Tigers to a 19-6 record, the second most victories in school history. For the second consecutive season, Pacific finished 6-0 in Big West Conference dual matches. The Tigers, however, fell 4-2 in the Big West Conference Championship final to Long Beach State. Chiene and the Tigers posted a 15-6 record and a perfect 6-0 in Big West Conference matches during the 2004 dual match season. Despite earning the No. 1 seed in the Big West Championships, a young Pacific team was upset in the semi-finals by UC Irvine, 4-3. During his first year in 2003, Chiene led the Tigers to a 5-16 mark, 4-5 in the Big West, as the interim head coach. Before coming to Pacific, Chiene had extensive coaching experience as the Head Tennis Professional at In-Shape Health Club's West Lane Racquet Club in Stockton. Chiene continues to serve as the primary instructor for the club. He is currently in his 22nd year with In-Shape. He has trained numerous nationally ranked junior tennis players, including: Beth Berris and Jennifer Heiser (both national junior champions in addition to earning athletic scholarships at Stanford), Kristi Kern and Julie Fairchild (both nationally ranked juniors and Pacific Tennis alumnae. Chino played tennis for four years at the University of Oregon and played at the number one position as a senior. He earned a bachelor of science degree in business management at Oregon in 1976. Chiene and his wife, Debi, who earned her teaching credential from Pacific, live in Woodbridge, Calif. The couple have two children, Kelly (22) and Ryan (19). Kelly played tennis at Lodi High School, where she helped the Flames to three straight Sac-Joaquin Section championships. She is currently a senior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Ryan is in his first year at San Joaquin Delta College where he is a quarterback on the football team. Bob Chiene's Career Record |
