Misc. Information

John Greene enters his 7th season overseeing the Rensselaer women’s basketball program in 2007-08. Prior to his arrival at Rensselaer in 2001-02, Greene spent two years at the University of Bridgeport (D2) and three years at Western New England (D3), trying to turn around two lackluster progams. Before coaching at WNEC, Greene served as the boys’ varsity basketball coach at Chatham (MA) High School. He has also coached girls at the scholastic level and men in the junior college ranks. In his first season, Greene led the Red Hawks to an 18-6 regular season record and a berth in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament. During his short six year tenure Greene is 100-57. In 2006-07, the Red Hawks improved to 16-11.
