Mike Green is the head men’s basketball coach at Salem Community College in South Jersey. The 2024-25 season was his first full season at the head of the program, and he led the Mighty Oaks to a 26-8 record and the program’s first ever appearance in the NJCAA Division III National Championship Tournament, where they earned a fifth-place finish. As a player, the Philadelphia native was a standout at Franklin Learning Center and played at Towson and Butler in college – helping Butler to a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Following college, Green played pro basketball for a dozen years overseas.
