Kelly Greenberg Position: Head Coach Experience: Fifth Season

In her fifth season at the helm of the Boston University women's basketball program, head coach Kelly Greenberg has successfully taken the Terriers to the America East Championship title game in three of the last five campaigns, including this past season's thrilling ride to the finals with Hartford, which included a double-overtime victory against rival Vermont.

An 18-year coaching veteran at the Division I level, Greenberg served as the head coach at the University of Pennsylvania for five seasons before taking over the Terriers' helm in July 2004. Prior to Penn, Greenberg was the top assistant at Holy Cross for seven seasons, including three years as the associate head coach.

With 68 wins under her belt at BU, Greenberg is three victories away from moving into second all-time in program history. Her .553 winning percentage is currently second to Averill Haines (.704), who coached at BU from three seasons.

In 2007-08, Greenberg and the Terriers amassed 20 wins for the first time in 20 years and second time in program history. The squad finished with a 20-12 overall record and 11-5 conference record. BU staunchly defended its home court, owning an 11-1 record at home and 11-0 record at Case. Its one loss came to then-No. 16 Ohio State at Agganis Arena. Greenberg's squad showcased an up-tempo style, which broke a school record for points in a season (2,220). BU was also strong from the charity stripe, breaking a program mark for free-throw percentage (.769).

Greenberg's teams have claimed seven regular-season conference titles and five conference tournament crowns. She has reached the NCAA Tournament seven times as a coach, including twice during her five-year stint at Penn. Since 1993, all but one of her teams either have finished the regular-season in the top two spots in the league standings or have reached the conference title game.

In 2005-06, Greenberg led her Terrier team to an 18-12 record and an appearance in the America East title game following an exciting 76-74 overtime victory over second-seeded Stony Brook in the semifinal round.

In her first season at the BU helm, Greenberg's squad posted a 15-16 overall record after making a dramatic run through the America East tournament. Entering the tournament as the eighth-seeded team, BU knocked off top-seeded Maine, fourth-seeded Vermont and ninth-seeded Stony Brook en route to becoming the first eighth-seeded team in the tournament's 14-year history to reach the title game. In the finals, BU dropped a 52-50 decision to second-seeded Hartford

Greenberg was appointed head coach of the BU women's basketball program on July 7, 2004, after guiding Penn to two Ivy League championships during her five-year tenure.

"Boston University is proud to have Kelly Greenberg as our head women's basketball coach," said Director of Athletics Mike Lynch. "She has a proven track record of success at a number of high quality institutions and clearly will help to raise the bar for our team. We look forward to a bright future for our women's basketball program under her leadership."

During her 18 years of coaching at the Division I level as an assistant and head coach and four years as a player, Greenberg boasts a resume that includes 11 conference championships and nine appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

In her five seasons at Penn, Greenberg posted an 84-54 overall record and a 51-19 mark in Ivy League play, finishing no lower than second in the conference each year. Her 84 career wins are the third-highest win total in program history.

In her first season as a head coach in 1999-2000, Greenberg's squad posted its first winning season in eight years. For her efforts, she was named the Philadelphia Big 5 Coach of the Year.

The following season, she guided the Quakers to an Ivy League title as the team went a perfect 14-0 in league games. The team earned the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament bid and posted a school-best 22-6 overall record. During the season, the team won a program-record 21 consecutive games, which ranked as the longest active winning streak in the nation. Following the record-breaking season, Greenberg was honored as the Daily Pennsylvanian Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.

In 2003-04, Greenberg led the team back to the NCAA Tournament as Penn recorded a 17-10 overall mark and an 11-3 record in Ivy League play.

Prior to her appointment at Penn, Greenberg spent seven seasons on the women's basketball staff at the College of the Holy Cross. During her final four seasons, Greenberg served as the associate head coach under head coach Bill Gibbons. During her tenure, the Crusaders made four trips to the NCAA tournament and captured six Patriot League titles.

Before Holy Cross, Greenberg was an assistant coach at the University of Rhode Island during the 1991-92 season and The George Washington University in 1990-91. She began her coaching career at cross-town rival Northeastern in 1989-90. During her tenure at George Washington, the Colonials reached the NCAA tournament, Greenberg's first trip as a coach.

An outstanding leader since her collegiate playing career, Greenberg was a two-time second Team All-Big 5 selection at LaSalle University, leading the Explorers to three consecutive Big 5 Championships and NCAA tournaments. She captained the 1988-89 team to a 28-3 overall record, a national ranking, and a third straight trip to the NCAA tournament. Greenberg graduated in 1989 with a bachelor of arts in English.

During her scholastic career, Greenberg excelled at basketball, field hockey and softball at Archbishop Wood High School in Philadelphia. Recently, she had her No. 32 jersey retired joining just two other female athletes, Debbie Black of the WNBA and Kelly's sister, Kathy. Kelly is also a member of the high school's alumni hall of fame.
