GREEN WEIGHS OPTIONS

Ed Green, facing uncertain prospects after his term as Coastal Carolina College athletic director ends June 30, goes about his business as breezily as a man heading out for 36 holes of golf.

"I'm not concerned about it," said the former Roanoke College basketball coach. "The only question is which way I'm going to go."

Green said his options include high school administration or coaching again.

"I have a couple of possibilities, one of them strong [to return to coaching], although at what level, I'm not going to comment on right now," he said.

Green, with Coastal Carolina at the Big South Conference basketball tournament at the North Charleston (S.C.) Coliseum, has been doing color commentary on Coastal's home radio broadcast.

Since Don Doucette stepped down as the boss at North Carolina-Asheville, the Big South has a coaching opening. But Green professed no interest in that position.

"I've had a chance the last two years to join my brother Tom [the Fairleigh-Dickinson head coach] as a Division I assistant, but I've turned it down," Green said. "That's another situation that may be available to me again."

Within the past two years, Coastal has slashed its athletic budget by $100,000, Green said. He will be replaced by an acting AD who is the former athletic faculty representative. Green said that will enable the school to save 80 percent of the salary it currently pays him.
