Coach Kane is set to begin his eighth season directing the Forester men's tennis program. He is the program's all-time winningest coach with 77 career victories against just 59 losses. He also owns a 15-13 record in Midwest Conference South Division matches.

The 2009 team posted a 9-5 overall record and 2-2 mark in MWC South play. Lake Forest placed fifth at the conference championship tournament, the program's third consecutive appearance in the top half of the league standings. In addition, Foresters Joe Campagna and Chris Paterakos claimed a conference title at #3 doubles. Lake Forest players won more than 60 percent of their singles and doubles matches during the season.

Kane's 2007 Foresters recorded a dual match record of 17-7, matching the highest single-season victory total in program history. An 8-1 victory at Lakeland College on April 20, 2007, was the 51st triumph of Kane's career, moving him into first place in team history.

With 16 Academic All-Midwest Conference selections in Kane's seven seasons, the Foresters have excelled in the classroom as well as on the court.

Kane's own list of notable accomplishments as a player in the tennis arena includes three U.S. Tennis Championships, 15 various state titles, a top-10 national ranking as a junior tennis player, a California State High School Championship and a collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame, where he held the team's #1 singles and doubles positions.

Despite opening a successful Chicago law firm and later his own private law practice in Barrington, Illinois, Kane has maintained a strong connection to the tennis world in both playing and coaching capacities. He was the head coach of the Dominican University women's team from 1981 to 1983. Despite the squad having never won a match prior to his arrival, the team tied for the state NAIA Championship and one member qualified for the NAIA National Championship Tournament in 1983. As a player, Kane continues to succeed to this day. He achieved a #6 age group ranking in the Midwest Section of the United States Tennis Association in 2000 and has been ranked #1 and #3 in the Chicago District Father/Daughter Doubles category the last two years.
