#UNI fans: Talked to Kyle Green. He said "It's a lifestyle decision and a quality of life decision." More in tomorrow's Courier. .

Kyle Green sounded like he wanted 2 make sure he didn't miss 2 much of his kids growing up. "You can't get that time back" he said. #UNI

Re: Kyle Green a finalist for job

Green isn't interested in "moving up" as some people here are speculating. This move has nothing to do with that. Eau-Claire has had 4 coaches in the last 84 years. It's a place that he'd like to call home for many years to come. Establish some roots and raise his family in an active way. A way that being a head coach for a BCS sized school wouldn't allow him.

Really sucks for us Panther fans. The Green's are one incredible family and will be sorely missed.

Good for Coach Green making his family a priority!

Re: Kyle Green a finalist for job

Can't blame him for that...

Re: Kyle Green a finalist for job

Stinks to lose a quality person/coach/recruiter for panther nation, but you can't blame the guy for looking out for his family's best intersts, even if they aren't what we would have thought. Who knows...maybe he can still put a good word in for UNI with any DI prospects he might come into contact with. Here is to wishing him and his family the very best!

Good for coach KG. I'm sure we can all agree that UW-EC is getting a top-notch guy and that he will hopefully do great things for years to come. Any ideas on who we may have move into the coaching staff? I would speculate Ben Johnson becomes the "new top assisstant" but we'll still need one more for the coaching staff, right?

Wait, I thought all coaches automatically chased the money. Could it be that some have other priorities.

Sounds like a guy that is sick of being on the road and the phone all the time. Good for him!

Time to go get another Ben Johnson...

We think the world of UNI -- to leave here it had to be something special.

Wisconsin-Eau Claire?


Anyway, congrats to Coach Green. You have to respect him for putting what he feels his family needs first.

Hopefully he finds a lot of success

Time for Mac to put on his "friend hat" and send one of the UNI grads on his staff back home?

How sweet would that be? I hope Jake gives them a call...

Re: Kyle Green a finalist for job

If jake left now, would devries get a look for head coach?

Re: Kyle Green a finalist for job

I wonder if any former Panther post players are looking to get into coaching. That was the primary positional responsibility of Coach Green and what I think we need to look for to hire. As much as I like DeVries or Crawford, I'm not sure either are post coaches (though Erik did play there). What is Joe Breakenridge doing nowadays? Would be great if some of his rebounding skills could be taught to our younger post players.

I believe Joe just received an award from the state officiating organization for being one of the top newcomer officials for boys basketball. Anyone know anything about this?
