Women's Basketball Adds Ollie Goss to Coaching Staff
April 13, 2026 | Women's Basketball
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Boston College women's basketball head coach Kate Popovec-Goss is excited to announce the hiring of Ollie Goss to the staff as an assistant coach.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity to work at an incredible institution for higher learning in Boston College," said Goss. "The buzz around BC athletics is exciting, and I'm looking forward to continuing working with Coach Pop, one of the best culture builders in women's basketball."
Goss arrives at The Heights after spending four seasons at Bradley, playing a pivotal role in the Braves' rise from four wins in his first season to 20 victories in 2025-26.
The Braves finished with the best defense last season in the Missouri Valley Conference, limiting opponents to just 64.2 points per game and the top 3-point defense in the MVC, allowing foes to shoot 26.9 percent from deep, which ranked 16th nationally.
Bradley also shot a conference-best 34.6 percent from 3-point land, and made eight 3-pointers per game - good for second in the league. The Braves were also second in the MVC with a 1.06 assist/turnover ratio. Bradley saw multiple all-conference selections and the program's first MVC Newcomer of the Year.
Prior to Bradley, Goss spent six seasons at Northwestern, contributing to a combined 124–64 record (.660) across the men's and women's programs. During that span, Northwestern made two NCAA Tournament appearances, finished as WNIT runner-up, and captured a Big Ten regular-season title. He was heavily involved in day-to-day operations, film analysis, and game preparation.
In 2017, Goss earned a master's degree in sports administration from Northwestern University's School of Professional Studies while working as a graduate manager for the men's basketball team. As a graduate manager, he helped the Wildcats earn their first trip to the NCAA tournament in school history. Goss also gained experience at the IMG Academy, where he completed a basketball operations internship with their men's basketball program.
Prior to returning to Northwestern, Goss worked as a recruiting coordinator at Next College Student Athlete, where he assisted parents and prospective student-athletes in learning about the college athletic recruiting process.
Goss is a 2013 graduate of Bowling Green State University with a degree in sports management. While at BGSU, he began his coaching career as a high school basketball coach in his hometown of Rossford, Ohio. He is married to head coach Kate Popovec-Goss and has one daughter, Mira.
