Greenspan spent one season at Cal Poly where he served as the assistant coach. The Cal Poly Mustangs finished with a 37-21 record with two All-Americans. Prior to his time in San Luis Obispo, Greenspan spent six seasons with current Michigan Head Coach Tracy Smith at Arizona State. Greenspan established himself as an elite recruiter during this time assembling four top-10 classes in seven seasons with the Sun Devils including top talents like Spencer Torkelson and Hunter Bishop. Both players were top-10 picks in the MLB draft. He also served as the third base coach, academic liaison, and the liaison to professional scouts and teams among other responsibilities.

He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Sport Marketing and Management in 2007 and a master's degree in Sport Administration in 2008 from Indiana.
