After losing three four-year stalwarts in the lineup, Michigan did not miss a beat in 2025 en route to the first semifinal appearance in the NCAA Tournament in program history. U-M leaned on player development to reach new heights, with Julia Fliegner moving from No. 3 to No. 1, Piper Charney from No. 6 to No. 2 and Lily Jones from No. 5 to No. 3. U-M went 13-0 in the expanded Big Ten, winning its third straight and 13th overall Big Ten championship. Fliegner was named the Big Ten Player of the Year, with Charney joining her on the first team. Emily Sartz-Lunde took home Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors, along with ITA Midwest Region Rookie of the Year laurels. Fliegner, who reached the semifinals of the NCAA Singles Championship, and Charney were each named ITA All-Americans in singles for the first times in their respective careers. Fliegner also earned CSC Academic All-America first-team recognition and was Michigan’s female recipient of the Big Ten Medal of Honor.

U-M hosted the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament, shutting out Youngstown State and Arizona State in the first two rounds before outlasting Texas, 4-3, in the Round of 16 at the VTC. The Wolverines shut out No. 20-ranked Oklahoma State in their third straight quarterfinal appearance, advancing to the Final Four for the first time ever. U-M’s season came to an end at the hands of the defending national champions, falling to Texas A&M. Michigan finished the season ranked No. 3 as a team, the highest season-ending ranking in program history.

Schaub was named the 2025 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year and the Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year following his first season in Ann Arbor. It was the third time he was honored as the region award winner and his first national award.

In his most recent stint as the associate head coach for South Carolina women's tennis (2019-22), he recruited and coached the No. 1-ranked college tennis player in the country. He coached a pair of Gamecocks to All-America honors, while helping South Carolina to a top-20 ranking. With the 2020 NCAA Tournament canceled due to the pandemic, Schaub helped South Carolina to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in his final two seasons.

He spent a pair of seasons in Knoxville (2017-19), serving as an assistant coach for the Tennessee women's team. He helped take Tennessee from a team ranked outside the top 75 into a team ranked inside the top 20 during his tenure. The Lady Vols made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances and peaked at No. 12 in the ITA team rankings. While being named the 2018 and 2019 ITA Regional Coach of the Year, he coached two players who earned All-America honors.

Following his stint in the Ivy League, he was an assistant on the men's side at Iowa (2014-15) and at San Diego (2015-16). At Iowa, he helped the Hawkeyes to their highest team ranking in program history to that point. With San Diego, he was part of a Toreros' program that made its first-ever ITA National Team Indoor Championship appearance and won the 2015 West Coast Conference championship.

He began his coaching career in the Ivy League, starting at Cornell as an assistant for both the men's and women's programs in 2012. He moved to Penn as an assistant for the men's team from 2012-14

As a student-athlete at Ohio State, Schaub’s teams finished with a 129-8 record and claimed four Big Ten championships. He served as the team captain in 2009 when the Buckeyes were No. 1 in the country and reached the NCAA Tournament title match. He graduated with a degree in communications with a focus in analysis and practices. During the 2006-07 season, he was named a Big Ten Conference Men’s Tennis Sportsmanship Award Winner.
