Kalana Lanette Greene (born July 13, 1987), is an American former professional women's basketball guard who played in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and for CCC Polkowice in Poland. She played her college career at the University of Connecticut, where the Huskies were the 2009 and 2010 NCAA national Champions.

Early life

Greene grew up in St. Stephen, South Carolina, as the daughter of Addison and Cynthia Greene.[1] Greene played basketball for Timberland High School in St. Stephen, South Carolina. She helped her team win twenty or more games for three consecutive seasons, and in her senior year, she led the team to its first ever state championship.[1] She averaged 17 points per game as a freshman; by the time she was a senior, she averaged 28 points, 18 rebounds, nine steals and eight assists per game.[1]

Greene was named a WBCA All-American.[2] She participated in the 2005 WBCA High School All-America Game, where she scored four points.[3]

College career

Greene's choices came down to Georgia and Connecticut. She liked the Georgia program, but the UConn program, with both a family atmosphere and an expectation you have to work hard for everything you get swayed her to choose to come to join the University of Connecticut Huskies.[4]

Greene suffered a major knee injury in a game on December 17, 2007, against South Carolina, an injury that would end her season.[5] It turned out to be a damaged ACL and torn LCL. UConn rarely played South Carolina, but set up a two-game series, with a game in 2007 against South Carolina in Connecticut, with a return trip to South Carolina in 2008, scheduled so that Greene could play in her home state as a senior. Her coach, Geno Auriemma, worried it might be a career-ending injury.

That day when she got hurt, I was really in a somber mood because I thought this could be the end of Kalana's career

— Geno Auriemma, [6]

She worked hard to rehabilitate her knee, including staying on campus over the summer to work out in the gym every day.[6] She played the following season, for a team that won the national championship, although not at the same level as before her injury. During the year, she had to make a decision whether to leave as an academic senior, or return for a fifth year. Players who are injured during a year can get an additional year of eligibility, if they have not played too many games in the season. Greene's injury occurred in the eighth game of her junior season, so she was eligible to return if she chose. She considered her options, and chose to return for a fifth year.

On March 9, 2010, Greene played in her 151st game as a UConn Husky, more than any other player in UConn Women's basketball history, breaking the mark held by Renee Montgomery.[7] Greene played in 157 games in her complete college career, an NCAA record.[8]

Greene helped lead UConn to the Championship of the Big East Tournament, and earned Most Outstanding Player of the tournament for her performance.[6]

WNBA career

Greene was the 13th overall selection in the 2010 WNBA draft, selected by the New York Liberty.[9] After playing one season for the Liberty, she was traded to the Connecticut Sun for the draft rights of Sydney Colson, the Texas A&M guard selected by the Sun in the second round of the 2011 WNBA draft.[10]

Europe

Greene plays for CCC Polkowice in Poland[11][12] – silver medalist of the PLKK 2010/2011 season.
