Josh Cobble was named the head coach of the Cameron men's and women's tennis programs in January of 2017.
Cobble led both Aggie squads to the NCAA postseason for the first time since 2016. The women had a huge turnaround, going from just 10 wins in the previous two seasons to 21 in 2022 with a LSC Co-Championship and South Central Regional Championship on their resume. They were ranked inside the top-10 by the ITA for most of the year, finishing at No. 11. Cobble earned LSC and Regional Coach of the Year honors and freshman Anastasia Uspenskaia picked up both Freshman of the Year honors.
In 2022, Cobble's men were consistent all season and earned the 3-seed in the South Central Region before beating rival Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas to advance to the Sweet 16 in Florida. CU's men were led by LSC Newcomer of the Year Tomas Almeida and LSC and regional Freshman of the Year Thomas Cardona, who was perfect in Division II play.
Despite many obstacles in 2021, Cobble led the Cameron men to another South Central Regional Championship, beating St. Mary's 4-0. The win advanced the Aggies to the Elite Eight, where their season ended at the hands of the No. 1 ranked Columbus State. They finished the year ranked No. 27 in the nation and No. 2 in the region by the ITA. Additionally, both programs were named ITA All-Academic teams for the year.
Under Cobble's direction, the 2018-19 men's tennis team put together won of the best turnarounds in program history. Led by ITA All-Americans Vinicius Santos and Julen Gutierrez, the Aggies went from just nine wins in 2017-18 to a 19-5 record with a perfect 3-0 league mark to claim the Lone Star Conference regular season title. After losing to MSU in the league tournament final, Cobble's men defeated St. Edward's to claim to South Central Regional Championship, making it to the round of 16, where they would lose to the sixth ranked West Florida Argos. CU finished with a No. 15 ranking and Cobble was named the ITA National Coach of the Year.
