Andrea Gaines, Basketball player at Clemson University
“I played high school basketball with Cocoa Green and what I can tell you is that she was a natural born leader with unbelievable passion for the game that made others around her better. She was tough, aggressive, competitive but also a smart and measured player that helped lead our team to state playoff competition. She is someone I would always want on my team on and off the court.”
Letricia Smith, University of Central Florida (UCF)
“My mother taught me everything I know about the sport of basketball, with her strong mind and passion, she definitely could thrive off an average player potential and improve their game on so many levels. I was honored to have a Grade A coach right at home and she was always ready to make any moment on the court a teaching moment!”
Davon Brown, Head coach of girls A.L. Brown high school basketball team
“I’ve had the privilege of watching Coach Cocoa play college basketball as well as working alongside her as my assistant coach. She coaches exactly how she played. With love and compassion for the game. She was a gritty point guard and brought out the best in her teammates. A leader on and off the court. Demanded respect!!! She’s a passionate coach, poring knowledge into each player as well as myself. CoCoach brings the best out of everyone around her. Players and staff!!!”
Shalika "Shai" Brown, Livingstone College
“Playing basketball with Tricosa Green "Cocoa", in college was one of the most exciting and memorable experiences I've had on the court. What impressed me even more than Cocoa's individual abilities, was the way she played as a teammate. Her leadership and positive attitude helped to elevate the play of everyone around her and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from such a great player. I would highly recommend anyone who loves basketball to seek out a chance to play with or be coached by Cocoa - you won't be disappointed!”
