Coty Greene joined the University of Massachusetts staff as a strength and conditioning coach for the men's and women's basketball programs in 2017-18 and enters his third season in the role for 2019-20.
He comes to Amherst after one season spent as the director of basketball strength and conditioning at Appalachian State, his alma mater, where he worked with men’s basketball and women’s soccer. During his time as a Mountaineer, Greene planned, implemented and evaluated programs focused on individual strength and nutrition.
“Every position on our staff is extremely important – none more important than our director of strength and conditioning,” men's basketball head coach Matt McCall said. “The responsibility entails having to develop trust with our student-athletes, but at the same time, pushing them to accomplish goals in the weight room and in conditioning that aren’t comfortably reached. We couldn’t be more excited about Coty and what he brings to the table.”
Following his 2013 graduation from Appalachian State with a bachelor’s degree in health promotion, Greene spent two years working with the Mountaineers’ baseball and tennis programs from 2013-15. Between his two stints at his alma mater, Greene joined Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Minnesota Twins organization and assisted with strength and conditioning efforts with the team’s Cedar Rapids (A) and Chattanooga (AA) minor league affiliates.
“Coach McCall’s vision is everything you want in a head coach; leadership, drive, and the proven ability to win,” Greene said. “The opportunity to join his staff and join the historically rich basketball history at UMass was not something I could pass up. I’m excited to be a small piece in the program that puts UMass basketball back on the map.”
Greene holds additional experience as an intern with the University of Florida men’s basketball program while he also interned with the Appalachian State men’s basketball team during his undergraduate studies.
Greene is a certified strength and conditioning coach (CSCS) by the NSCA and has the RSCC recognition, which is given to strength coaches that have demonstrated understanding and application at a collegiate and/or professional level. He is also a USAW-L1 coach.
