Toby Hansson
	Position: Assistant Coach Alma Mater: SMU 2000

When Ole Miss head coach Billy Chadwick found himself in search of an assistant coach prior to the start of the 2006-07 season, he went looking for a young up-and-coming coach with a championship-level background.

Not only is Toby Hansson an accomplished player, but he is one of the top young coaches in the United States.

Now in his fourth year with the program, Hansson has helped the Rebels maintain their tradition of excellence on the court.

Last year, Hansson helped direct the Rebels to the SEC regular season championship, their second consecutive SEC Tournament Championship and their eighth straight SEC West title. The Rebels ended the year ranked No. 4 in the nation. A finalist for the ITA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, Hansson coached NCAA Singles Champion Devin Britton, and Jonas Berg and Bram ten Berge, who spent 14 weeks at No. 1 in the nation.

In his second season (2008), Hansson helped guide the Rebels to the SEC West title, the SEC Tournament Championship, the NCAA Elite Eight and a final national ranking of No. 6.

With an excellent ability to relate to players, Hansson helped coach four Rebels to All-America honors and five players to All-SEC honors. He coached Erling Tveit and Jonas Berg, who advanced to the NCAA Doubles Championship Final as well as Semifinalists Bram ten Berge and Matthias Wellermann.

In his first season with the Rebels (2007), Hansson helped guide the team to the SEC West title, the NCAA "Sweet Sixteen" and a final national ranking of No. 7. He helped coach three players to All-America honors and four to All-SEC accolades.

Hansson, a native of Bjärred, Sweden, was an assistant coach at Texas Tech in 2004-05, where he helped lead the Red Raiders to the NCAA Final 16 and their best season ever. The team finished with a 25-4 record, and was ranked as high as No. 9 in the country at one point during the year.

Prior to his stint at Texas Tech, Hansson played professionally on the ATP Tour in Europe, North and Central America and Asia.

One of the top collegiate players during his career at SMU, Hansson earned All-America honors in singles and doubles. As captain of the team in 2000, he was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year and first team all-conference for both singles and doubles.

During his career, Hansson was ranked as high as No. 2 in the country in doubles and No. 13 in singles for the Mustangs. He led the Mustangs to two WAC championships, three consecutive NCAA "Sweet Sixteen" appearances and two top-15 national finishes.

Hansson graduated from SMU in 2000 with a B.A. in International Studies. He received his masters in International Studies from Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, in June of 2006.
