Golden Gopher head coach Dawn Plitzuweit has announced the addition of Corey Green to the University of Minnesota women’s basketball staff. This will be his first season as Director of Basketball Operations after a successful career working in women’s basketball.
“We are thrilled to welcome Corey and his wife Sheila to the Gopher family, as Corey will serve as our Director of Basketball Operations,” said Plitzuweit. “He is not only a detail oriented individual, but he also brings invaluable experience and extensive knowledge to his role. He has great energy and passion for women’s basketball and has a heart for serving student-athletes. We really believe that he will be a tremendous addition to our staff.”
Prior to Minnesota, Green spent four seasons at Old Dominion University as the Director of Basketball Operations and Analytics. With the Monarchs, Green was responsible for travel logistics, budget oversight, compliance, and creation of analytical reports. In addition, he took on the role as the Social Media Manager, helping leverage the program to engage on all social media platforms.
Prior to ODU, Green was on staff at Memphis for three seasons. He served as the women’s basketball video coordinator during the 2018-19 season before being named the program’s director of operations in September 2019. As video coordinator, Green was responsible for film exchange and video scouting reports. His responsibilities as director of operations included team-related compliance, travel and meals.
Green came to Memphis following a two-year stint at Detroit, where he was a graduate assistant with women’s basketball. While with the Titans, Green assisted in all aspects of the program from recruiting and scouting to individual workouts with all position groups. His first year with the program saw the Titans win 18 games and reach the finals of the Horizon League Tournament.
Green served in a variety of roles during his first go around with the Monarchs. He began working with the program prior to the 2013-14 season as a student manager and office assistant. He helped run basketball camps and clinics, assisted in travel coordination and worked with the program’s post players. He served as the interim video coordinator for the 2015-16 season.
Green graduated from Old Dominion in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in sport management.
