Steve Green, the men’s basketball coach at South Plains College (@southplainscollege), was recovering from an up-and-down season last summer when he decided he needed to make a change. So he planted himself in front of the television in his living room and began to study — really study — his favorite team.
Green scribbled down every cut, every back screen and every curl. In pursuit of a goal that was so ambitious that it bordered on audacious, he consulted with his assistants and overhauled his playbook. His wife, Teresa, discovered that she needed to make room for a new love in her husband’s life. “He is obsessed,” she said, “with the Warriors.”
In his grand experiment to turn his team into the junior college version of the Golden State Warriors (@warriors) — yes, those Warriors — Green has coached the South Plains Texans (@spctexans) to a 28-0 record as they enter the postseason.
