Get to Know Porter Moser's New Oklahoma Men's Basketball Staff Hires

Porter Moser made a couple of staff moves this past week that fit two different needs at once. Oklahoma men’s basketball is adding outside development experience and some internal program knowledge in the same breath.

Moser announced that Mike Greenman is joining the staff as an assistant coach and director of player development, while Sam Godwin has been named assistant director of basketball operations. One hire is about growing players. The other is about keeping the day-to-day machine clean with somebody who already knows what the program is supposed to feel like.

Greenman is the bigger outside swing. His recent coaching path runs through the Chicago Bulls organization, the Windy City Bulls, the Indiana Fever, and Northwestern. Most recently he served as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for Windy City, the Bulls’ G League affiliate. During the 2025-26 season, that offense ranked among the G League’s top five in transition points, rim attempts, and free-throw rate. In other words, it played with pace and put pressure on the floor. That should sound familiar to anybody who has listened to Moser talk about how he wants his teams to function.

The job description around Greenman looks practical too. He helped design and implement Windy City’s early offense, with an emphasis on tempo, rim pressure, and making the next right play. He also worked through analytics-driven game planning, scouting, rotations, and practice drills built around decision-making and quick reactions. That is useful stuff for a roster trying to take another step in the SEC. Oklahoma does not just need bodies. It needs players who improve after they get here.

Greenman’s background before the G League job fills in the rest of the résumé. He served as a video coordinator with the Chicago Bulls in 2023-24, worked as an advanced scout for the Indiana Fever in 2023, and spent time in video and basketball operations with Windy City from 2021-23. He also worked as a lead assistant with WME/BDA Pre-Draft in 2022. His coaching start came as a graduate assistant at Northwestern from 2018-20, where he helped with the development of players who later reached the professional ranks, including Pete Nance, Boo Buie, Miller Kopp, and Chase Audige.

As a player, Greenman was a five-year letterwinner at Williams College, a three-time captain, and a five-year starter. Williams went 89-30 during his career, made three NCAA Tournaments, reached two Final Fours, and played in the 2014 national championship game. He finished among the program’s top 10 in assists and led the team in assists three times. That kind of playing background tends to travel well into development work. He has been the connector on the floor before. Now his job in Norman is to help Oklahoma’s players maximize their growth and get ready for the jump from college minutes to whatever comes next.

Godwin’s hire is a different kind of smart. He is not coming in as some outsider learning the building from scratch. He is coming back to a program he already lived inside. Godwin earned a degree in business management at Oklahoma and lettered for three seasons with the Sooners from 2023-25.

Last year he played professionally with NH Ostrava in the Czech NBL, averaging 8.1 points and 6.5 rebounds. Now he returns in an operations role, where firsthand knowledge of the culture and expectations actually matters.

In three seasons in Norman, Godwin averaged 6.0 points and 4.5 rebounds while appearing in 93 games and making 61 starts. He shot 61.2 percent from the field and was part of two 20-win seasons plus Oklahoma’s 2025 NCAA Tournament team.

That does not make him a star hire on the recruiting trail. It does make him a useful one in the room. He knows what the standard is supposed to look like day to day, and his job now is to help with logistics, recruiting coordination, player support, and the administrative work that keeps a program from becoming messy behind the scenes.

Taken together, the hires make sense. Greenman brings a modern development and offensive-detail background from the pro ecosystem. Godwin brings continuity and trust from the recent roster. One is there to help players get better. The other is there to help the operation stay tight.

For a Moser staff still trying to stabilize the program and get more out of available talent, it is a pretty clean pairing.
