I liken the present situation with the Stars with both Mr Orwig and Coach Nissalke being new along with me to my situation in college when I started my career along with Coach Knight. I'm hoping to play a part in building the Stars back to the way they were when they won the ABA championship in 1971. I always have been a follower of the ABA due to the proximity of my home to Indianapolis and Louisville and I enjoy the ABA style of play and the leagues personnel, said Green in summing up why he chose the Stars over the Bulls. Green just recently was married to the former Lana Smith, also an Indiana University graduate. They will be moving to Salt Lake in the near future.
