David Greer completed his seventh season as head coach of the Wayne State basketball program in the spring of 2008. A no-nonsense kind of coach, Greer led Wayne State to four consecutive trips to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament and back-to-back NCAA tournaments, including a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2004. He owns a 91-77 overall record (56-46 GLIAC) as the Warriors' head man.

The 2004-05 Warriors rewrote the record books, but had to do it against some of the best competition around. WSU had one of the toughest schedules in the nation with nine games against Top 25 teams (at the time of the contest), five of those were in the top six in the country, including a 79-72 win over No. 2 Findlay, handing the Oilers their only GLIAC loss of the year. But the year ended in the second round of the Great Lakes Regional at No. 1 Findlay. Senior point guard Darrell Evans finished the season with the most total assists in Division II with a school-record 232, while Morris Hall and Herb Goliday tied the WSU record for games played in a season (32).

Although WSU's 2004 GLIAC title run was cut short by Gannon for the second straight season, the Warriors earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional. That's where Greer's never-say-die attitude shined through and the fearless Warriors strung together two last-second upsets over top-seeded Lewis and Michigan Tech, only to fall to eventual national runner-up Southern Indiana by a single point.

In 2002-03, Greer's Wayne State team finished with an overall record of 13-14 and 9-8 in the GLIAC for a third-place South Division finish. The Warriors' season ended in the first round of the conference tournament at Gannon.

Greer, who was appointed the 10th head men's basketball coach at WSU on October 23, 2001, finished the 2001-02 season with a 15-12 record and led the Warriors to a berth in the GLIAC Tournament. The Warriors were a surprise in the league in Greer's first season as the team recorded a 10-7 mark in the GLIAC after being picked to finish next-to-last in the conference preseason poll.

While on the WSU bench, Greer has started to make the Matthaei an intimidating home court. In seven seasons, Wayne State has compiled a 61-27 home record, including a 25-4 tally against non-conference foes. He has also coached nine All-GLIAC South players, five GLIAC All-Defensive team members and five GLIAC All-Academic nominees. In addition, Morris Hall earned two All-Great Lakes Region honors following the 2004-05 campaign.

Greer earned his 100th collegiate coaching victory on December 21, 2006, with WSU's 73-65 triumph over Indianapolis.

"I am extremely pleased that David has joined our department as our head coach for men's basketball. He brings a wealth of experience in recruiting, handling issues of student welfare and a familiarity with metropolitan Detroit," athletic director Rob Fournier said when Greer was hired. "His winning approach has been evident in a number of strong athletic programs and his personal style will be a benefit."

Not one to back down from competition, Greer has scheduled contests against Division I Butler, along with top-ranked Division II teams in Virginia Union, West Virginia State, Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, Michigan Tech, Florida Southern and Tampa.

Prior to WSU, Greer spent six seasons at Detroit Mercy, the last three as the Titans associate head coach. First as an assistant coach and then after his promotion to associate in 1998, he coordinated the Titans' recruiting, with focus on Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and junior colleges. He also handled coaching and practice planning for offenses and defenses, and scheduled the Titans' games.

This is Greer's second appointment as a head coach at the collegiate level. In 1986-87 Greer was head coach at Tiffin University in Tiffin, Ohio. He led the Dragons to a 17-12 overall record that season.

In 1987 Greer moved to Youngstown State University as an assistant coach for two seasons, then he was an assistant coach at Ohio University from 1989-93. His last stop before joining the Detroit Mercy staff was serving as assistant coach at the University of Akron in 1994-95.

Under Greer's direction, the Titans compiled a 38-1 record at Calihan Hall his last three seasons. In that span, UDM won at least 20 games in each of those three years, including 25 victories in 2000-01 and 1998-99. In 2000-01 the Titans finished 25-12 overall.

Greer was a four-time letterwinner at Bowling Green State University, and he is the second former Falcon to coach the Warriors. Former WSU head coach Ron Hammye lettered at BGSU from 1974-78. Greer is the all-time career assist record holder at Bowling Green State and the Mid-American Conference (MAC), and he was named First Team All-MAC in 1983. The Falcons won the MAC two seasons with Greer, in 1981 and 1983. Greer captained the Falcons during the 1982-83 season.

Greer holds a bachelor of science in education from Bowling Green State.

He and his wife, Bertie, reside in Farmington Hills, with their three children, Joshua (19), Courtney (17) and David Anthony (11).
