QUEENS, N.Y. (Nov. 12, 2020) – Billy Goodwin, a 1,000-point scorer and member of the Red Storm’s 1983 BIG EAST Championship Team, will join Head Coach Mike Anderson and Athletic Director Mike Cragg in the latest installment of the department’s St. John’s Basketball Chat series on Nov. 18 at 12 p.m.

A native of New York City, Goodwin played his freshman year at San Jacinto Junior College before transferring to St. John’s for the 1980-81 season. After averaging 9.1 points per game as a sophomore, Goodwin poured in 14.7 points per contest as a junior before averaging 13.9 points for the 1983 BIG EAST Championship squad. He was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team after scoring 20 points in the final against Boston College and sparking a second-half comeback in a semifinal win over Villanova.

After helping lead the Red Storm to a 66-25 record during his three seasons in Queens, Goodwin was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the third round of the 1983 NBA Draft.

Goodwin enjoyed a lengthy professional career, mostly in France, where he has lived for more than three decades. He is the founder of Billy Goodwin Basketball Services, offering sports management, scouting and coaching services for professional basketball players in Europe.

We could use a Billy Goodwin in every recruiting class - to our younger poster - you missed a great team player! [attachment=1700]B29142A6-C90A-4A46-A12E-A999C564652D.jpeg[/attachment]

Billy Goodwin was exactly the type of player that made this program tick throughout the Looie years. Smart, tough, competitive. Billy placed teamwork and winning first. The SI cover featuring Billy sitting on the rim after St. John's won the 1983 Big East tournament is unforgettable. . The Beast of the East.
CMA is bringing the Billy Goodwin type player back to St. John's.
 
He was a good scorer , passed the ball well and played very good D. As others have pointed out he was a real team first player and he also happened to be a really nice guy , I know as I was on campus with him the same time.
It was a big disappointment when he was taken in the third round of the 1983 NBA draft. Many of us thought , or perhaps were hoping, he would be drafted higher.
