Green has appeared in seven NCAA Regionals as a head coach or assistant coach at the Division I level.   Green came to Wichita State after four seasons at the helm of Washington State, where he improved the Cougars win total in each of his four campaigns. Inheriting a program that won 11 games in 2019, Green guided Washington State to four straight seasons above .500, the first such stretch of success for the Cougars since 2006-10.   Green went 91-79 overall in his four seasons in Pullman, including a 29-win season in 2023 that matched the most wins for Washington State since 2010.   Prior to his tenure with Wazzu, Green revitalized the program at his alma mater New Mexico State, authoring college baseball's biggest turnaround in 2016. Following an 11-38-1 mark in his first year with the Aggies, Green led New Mexico State to a 34-23 record the following season, a 23-win improvement.
