Is Willie Green's family-first approach the key to his success on and off the court?

New Orleans Pelicans HC Willie Green has played in the NBA as a player and had a long, respectable career. After saying goodbye to the court as a player he turned to coaching and it’s safe to say he’s had a fairly successful stint at coaching. He began his career as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors before moving to the Phoenix Suns in the same role. During this time, he won two NBA titles and reached the NBA Finals four times.

Green joined the Pelicans in 2021 and has been an integral part of their improvement. His focus now is on making the Pelicans title contenders, a feat they haven’t achieved in many years. Meanwhile, he has his personal life sorted out, and it’s time to learn more about his wife, Terrah Green. A private individual, Terrah has kept much of her life away from the public eye, which makes information about her scarce online. Let’s delve deeper into the life of the Pelicans head coach’s spouse.

Terrah and Willie started seeing each other somewhere around 2006. She was living in Detroit and was a single mom raising her son Ross. Not much accurate information is available on how the two met.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Willie Green's family-first approach the key to his success on and off the court?

Have an interesting take?

Given that Ross was not Willie’s kid he had to approach him and let him know about his relationship with his mother. Willie did so in a pretty wholesome way as reported by Andscape. Green said in the interview: “Willie comes up and introduces himself at the camp, it was like, ‘Hey, Ross, how are you doing?’ He goes, ‘Oh, I’m great. I’ll tell my mom I bumped into you.’ And Willie, he got the biggest laugh out of that. It was so funny. Yeah, it was really cute“. Since then he’s been the father figure in Ross’s life.

The couple have been growing together since then and have done a wonderful job in raising the three kids. The Green household is closely knit together. Terrah couldn’t been happier as she told Andscape in the same interview “Ross was looking for that father figure, and Willie is just such an amazing man and just took him under his wing. And he’s always treated Ross like he was his own. And so, their bond has grown over the years. The respect has always been there. He couldn’t wait to call him dad.” She appreciates Willie for taking up the father’s role in Ross’s life and helping him.

Terrah and Willie have been successful in their careers and also they are doing a wonderful job as parents. But, most importantly they have had each other’s back for so many years and will continue to do so in the future.
