Green was born in Portland, Oregon. He was given the initials "A. C." like his father, A. C. Green, Sr. The initials do not stand for anything. Green converted to Christianity in the town of Hermiston, Oregon, while he was still in high school. He also never missed a class.
Green was a four-year star at Oregon State University, where he finished second in school history in rebounding and fourth in scoring. He was an All-Pac-10 selection as a sophomore, and as a junior he ranked fourth in the nation in field goal percentage at .657. As a senior, he averaged 19.1 points and 9.2 rebounds and was named to the All-America Third Team.
