I am writing this note in support of Kelly Greenberg. While I have not kept in close contact with her over the past 35 years, I have watched her development as both a person and a coach from a distance. She is an outstanding human being and a morally sound individual. She works hard each […]

Coach Greenberg; passionate, devoted, enthusiastic, animated, wholehearted & unconditional. Kelly Greenberg was born to coach, to teach, to prepare, to mentor. This is indisputable if you know her personally. Kelly’s unmistakable adoration for what she does defines her as an individual.

Coach Greenberg continually supported and pushed me to be the best basketball player I could be. While I only had the opportunity to play for Coach for one season at Penn, she showed me through hard work and intensity, I could accomplish great things. Even after Coach left Penn, she kept in touch and helped […]

I was given the opportunity to play the game I love and get a world-class education at the same time. A huge reason that was possible was Kelly Greenberg!

Throughout my time at BU, the one thing that has stuck with me from Coach Greenberg is the importance of family. The light that Coach had when her mother, Mrs. Greenberg, would come to games to support us is something that was passed down to everyone on the team. Even though many of us are […]

It is hard for me to imagine, after reading all the heartfelt support posted on this website…some from players who had their own challenges while playing at BU…that anyone could attempt to destroy a lifelong, successful career with unsubstantiated claims brought by a vast minority of disgruntled individuals. It is time for someone in authority […]
