Jim Goddard (born circa 1930) is a former American college basketball coach in the western United States. He was the head coach at Idaho for three seasons and previously at his alma mater Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. [1] [2]

Contents

From Salem, Oregon, Goddard had been on the basketball coaching staff at Lewis & Clark for the previous six seasons, the last four as head coach. In each of the last two years, the Pioneers won the season title in the Northwest Conference, [3] then in NAIA; and both teams advanced to the 32-team national tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. Lewis & Clark won in the first round in 1962, and advanced to the quarterfinals in 1963; [4] that team was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame. [5]

After Idaho's successful 20–6 season in 1963 with Gus Johnson at center, head coach Joe Cipriano departed for Nebraska, and athletic director Skip Stahley hired Goddard in April. [1] He led the Vandals for the first three seasons of the six-team Big Sky Conference, then unexpectedly resigned in August 1966 for an administrative position at the Oregon department of education in Salem. [6] [7] He was succeeded by alumnus Wayne Anderson, a longtime assistant and head baseball coach. [8] [9]
