In 2016, Greene helped lead the Highlanders to the programs first appearance at the Division I NJCAA National Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas, since 1998. In Hutch (the well-known moniker for the tournament), the Highlanders defeated Marion Military Institute, marking the programs first national tournament victory. In Greenes five-year tenure with the Highlanders, the team has a combined record of 127-33 for an 80 percent winning percentage. Before joining the McLennan staff, Greene spent four years as an assistant coach at Midland College.

The Caribbean Basketball Network named Greene the 2010-11 Coach of the Year for his tremendous work with student-athletes in the region. Before moving to Midland, Greene served as a graduate assistant coach at Harding University (Arkansas). He also worked as a color commentator for NBA-TV for two years. A native of Freeport, Bahamas, Greene won silver and gold medals with the Bahamian Junior National basketball teams in 1998 and 2000, respectively, before graduating from Coconut Creek High School (Florida) in 2000. He continued his basketball career at Northwest College (Wyoming), Arkansas Tech University and Harding.
