After his initial season coaching the team in the Big East, he guided the Hokies through their first two full seasons in the Atlantic Coast Conference starting in 2004-2005, earning the team a first-round bye in the ACC tournament and their first post-season tournament appearance since 1996 with a trip to the NIT.

During the 2006-2007 season, Greenberg led the Hokies to signature victories against #5 Duke on the road and #1 UNC at home in an eight-day span. The victories landed the Hokies in the AP Top 25 for the first time in over a decade, and earned their first NCAA tournament appearance since the 1995-1996 season.
