Brady Lindsley begins his 29th season as head coach for both men’s and women’s tennis in 2025-26 (386-201 women’s record, 28 years). The position makes Lindsley one of the very few NCAA Division III coaches to handle both men’s and women’s tennis on a full-time basis. He led Carthage to three-consecutive College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championships in 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05. Lindsley was named CCIW "Women's Tennis Coach of the Year" in 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2014-15.
Lindsley has coached Carthage teams that earned berths into the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2006-07. Carthage, which owns a 2-3 all-time NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship record, advanced to the second round in both 2004-05 and 2006-07. Both those seasons resulted in Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-America finishes for Kelly Mikkila/ Elizca Buys (2004-05, doubles), Kelly Mikkila (2004-05, singles) and Amanda Sta. Romana/Elizca Buys (2006-07, doubles). Buys eventually cracked the NCAA Division III 100 Wins Club with a 100-20 (.833) career record.
Under Lindsley's watch, the program has produced seven CCIW "Player of the Year" honorees, four CCIW Women's Tennis Championship MVPs, three ITA All-Americans, 64 All-CCIW selections, and two CCIW "Newcomer of the Year" honor for Carthage College.
Lindsley became the Rod Schroeder National Tennis Camp Director in 2017 after serving as assistant director since 1993. A native of Coldwater, Mich., Lindsley compiled an 82-24 career singles mark at Carthage between 1992 and 1995 and won three CCIW titles. He graduated from Carthage in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
