Plagued by poor eyesight, Beasley was never able to play the sport he loved. Instead, he educated himself in the fundamentals of the game and imparted the wisdom he gained to his students. He developed 17 players who won a combined total of 84 national collegiate titles. Time magazine identified Beasley as the greatest tennis coach in American history. In 2001, he was inducted into the NCAA Tennis Hall of Fame, but he is still noticeably absent from the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I.​
