 His last two seasons with the Knights were described by "The Record" as "two of the worst of Green's career", with the team going 8-20 in 2007-08, which deteriorated to 7-23 (3-13 in conference play) in 2008-09, in what turned out to be his final season as head coach.The team missed the Northeast Conference playoffs in both seasons, and his 400th win in the final game of the 2007-08 season was one of the few highlights of these seasons.With one year remaining on his contract, Green was dismissed by FDU athletic director David Langford, who recognized Green's contributions and noted that "Coach Green has worked for FDU for 26 years and done a lot of good things, and helped the university with its visibility and we're very thankful to him for that."
