New men's tennis head coach Billy Pate sat down with GoPrincetonTigers.com to talk about his path through the tennis world that led him to Princeton and his vision for the program.

Pate, a native of Hot Springs, Ark., and an alumnus of Mississippi State University, was previously the head coach at the University of Alabama before being hired at Princeton. The Tigers' 2012-13 schedule will begin in mid-September.
