Jerry Green (basketball coach)

Jerry Green was a college basketball coach from the 1980s through 2001. He coached at UNC Asheville, Oregon and Tennessee. He also was an assistant at Kansas under Roy Williams.

Green spent four years as an assistant coach at Kansas (1988–1992) under Roy Williams, where he helped the Jayhawks to a 103–30 record and to the 1991 national title game. Additionally, he spent 12 seasons at UNC Asheville, three as an assistant coach (1976–1979) and his last 10 as head coach (1979–1988). Green helped guide Asheville through two major changes in the last three years of his tenure.

Green coached at Oregon from 1992–97, where in 1995 he led the program to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1961. In 1997, he was hired by the Tennessee Volunteers. Green resigned from Tennessee in 2001.^[2] He was replaced by Buzz Peterson.

Green had coached Tennessee to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

He was the Director of Basketball Operations at Indiana University most recently but has since retired.
