Scott Greenman Steps Down After 19 Years at UTC

Long‑time associate head coach cites family priorities as he exits, while the program eyes a potential successor

Scott Greenman, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s men’s basketball associate head coach, announced his resignation this week, saying he wants to devote more time to his family after nearly two decades in college basketball.

Having joined the Mocs in 2022 and been promoted to associate head coach a year later, Greenman brings a deep résumé that includes stints at Princeton, Georgetown and American University, where he honed a reputation for player development and strategic acumen.

During his tenure at Chattanooga, the team captured an NIT championship and set a school record with 29 victories in the 2024‑25 season, milestones that Greenman highlighted in a heartfelt farewell message to players and staff.

Looking Ahead

The university’s athletic director confirmed that a staff addition will be revealed on Tuesday, a move that has already sparked discussion among local media about possible candidates to fill the vacancy.

Among the names circulating is Tom Kiely, who worked under Greenman at the Virginia Military Institute from 2018 to 2022, adding a potential link to the program’s recent successes.

While the transition unfolds, the episode underscores the growing pressure on mid‑major coaches to balance ambitious professional goals with the demands of personal life, a tension that has become increasingly common across the sport.
