Radford to name Brad Greenberg as new head men's basketball coach
By Ray Cox and Mark Berman
Now the only question is, when is that Radford University-Virginia Tech home-and-home men’s basketball series going to start?
When and if such a series does begin, it appears it is going to be a brother vs. brother affair.
Radford has scheduled a news conference for 3:30 p.m. today in the Dedmon Center to introduce Brad Greenberg as the sixth head coach in school history.
Brad Greenberg, a 1977 graduate of American University, is the lead assistant to brother Seth Greenberg on the Virginia Tech coaching staff. According to a Virginia Tech source, who would not speak if identified, Seth Greenberg told Hokies players Wednesday that "there was a very strong possibility" that Brad Greenberg would be named Radford coach.
When asked about his brother’s status Thursday afternoon, Seth said, "I can’t tell you. Go with your instinct."
Radford officials have kept a tight lid on information about the search to replace Byron Samuels as coach. Nevertheless, Brad Greenberg, 53, was identified as the leading candidate as long ago as January.
Brad Greenberg was once the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. He also worked as an assistant coach at American and St. Joseph’s and as director of basketball operations at South Florida while Seth was the head coach there.
It has been widely believed in the coaching community for some time now that the Radford job was Brad Greenberg’s if he wanted it.
Among the disappointed candidates for the job were former Radford standout players Don Burgess and Chris Hawkins, both also former Highlanders assistant coaches. Burgess, the only other person known to have interviewed for the job, is an assistant coach at High Point University. Hawkins is an assistant at the University of Buffalo.
Others known to have been involved included Colorado State interim coach Myron Guillory, a former Virginia Tech player, and George Mason assistant Scott Cherry.
