Kyle Green was only head coach at Lewis for 2 years. He took over for Jim Whitesell when he moved to Loyola back in 2004.

This is from his bio-
The 35-year-old Green arrived at Lewis following one season as assistant coach at NCAA Division I Marquette University, where he helped the Golden Eagles post a 19-12 record and advance to the National Invitation Tournament quarterfinals. He went to Marquette in 2003 following two years as assistant coach at Division I University of Northern Iowa.

Green was head coach at NCAA Division II Western State (Colo.) College during the 2000-01 season. He was assistant coach at Division II Augustana (S.D.) College from 1997-2000, at Division II Southwest State (Minn.) University from 1995-97 and at Division III Hamline (Minn.) University, his alma mater, from 1993-95.

Following his 1992 Hamline graduation, the Minneapolis, Minn., native served one season as player/coach of the Frederica (Denmark) Basketball Club. He was named Denmark Serie Coach of the Year after guiding Frederica to a 30-3 record and the Denmark Series title.

UNI, Lewis, Marquette, UNI, Western State, Augustana, Southwest State, and Hamline. He has really moved around!
