The newest member of the Bruins' coaching staff, Tom Stebbins enters his first season as the head coach of the UCLA women's diving team. Stebbins comes to UCLA from Fordham, where he was the head men's and women's diving coach for two seasons.
At the helm, Stebbins coached two-time senior national qualifier Paul Delo, who won two Atlantic-10 titles each on the one-meter and three-meter. Stebbins also helped coach Delo to an undefeated record in the 1996-97 season. Stebbins' coaching experience also includes two years as the head coach of the Metro Dive Club. While coaching there, the program expanded from only three divers to a group of 25.
After diving for JP Divers under the direction of head coach Jim Pyrch, Stebbins joined the coaching staff as a volunteer assistant from 1992-96. Stebbins was a four year letterwinner at Yale University and a three-time NCAA Zone qualifier. He holds the one-meter and three-meter records at Yale and is a four-time All-Ivy League selection. While diving at Yale, Stebbins was awarded the Heaton High Point Award and the Phil Moriarty Prize for MVP honors in 1996. He helped lead his team to the 1993 Co-Ivy Leauge Championship title. Stebbins graduated from Yale in 1996 with a degree in Psychology. A native of Connecticut, Stebbins now resides in Westwood. His hobbies include running, biking and surfing.
