Kyle Green, a longtime Northern Iowa assistant, is a leading candidate to join new Iowa State basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger’s staff, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

The Minnesota native has been an assistant with the Panthers for 16 years through three different stints under both Greg McDermott and Ben Jacobson. He also was an assistant at Marquette under Tom Crean during the 2003-04 season. He’s been a head coach at Division II Lewis University and Division III Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Green’s son A.J. was the 2019-20 Missouri Valley Conference player of the year, but missed last season due to hip injuries.
