Steve Green begins his tenth year as head coach of the South Plains College Texans. Under Green, the Texans have complied an impressive 231-59 record and won three WJCAC and Region V titles and in the 2007-2008 season won the NJCAA National Championship. The SPC head coach has an overall record of 384-102 in 15 years as a head coach.

Green has had success everywhere he has coached. He has coached three different schools to WJCAC championships and has twice been named WJCAC Coach of the Year.  He was named NJCAA Coach of the Year after the Texans won the NJCAA title for the 2007-08 season.

His coaching career began at the NCAA level. He worked as an assistant at Arkansas, Lamar and Houston. He made his NJCAA debut in 1988 at Howard College. The Hawks had five-straight losing seasons before Green arrived, but he led the team to a No. 1 national ranking in just his second year at the school. From 1989-91, the Hawks went 71-6 and won two-straight conference championships.

Green then left Howard for nearby Midland College where he went 73-24 in three seasons. The Chaps were ranked in the Top 10 nationally all three years. He was named Region V Coach of the Year a second time in 1993-94, the year his team took home the regional title.

He came to SPC after a year as an assistant coach at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Before that, he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at San Diego State University for five years.

Green received his Bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Christian College and his Master's degree in education and kinesiology from Sul Ross State University.

The Miami, Okla., native played football and basketball at Miami High School where he earned All-State honors in both sports while winning a state championship in basketball. He played basketball and tennis at Oklahoma Christian College.

Green and his wife, Teresa, have two sons, Justin (29) and Blake (21).
