Additionally, his squads swept both the men's and women's team titles on three occasions - 2008, 2009 and 2012. During his tenure his teams posted five undefeated seasons (2005, 2010 and 2012 - women; 2008 and 2012 - men) including a combined 59-0 mark during a perfect 2012 campaign. The Pirates currently hold a 135-match home winning streak (2003-present) and a 123-match Peach Belt Conference winning streak (2003-present).
