At BC, Gould’s responsibilities included working with the post players, planning for game time special situations, preparing pre-season and post-season conditioning workouts, assisting with recruiting, game-film breakdown and scheduling non-conference games. The Eagles were 171-77 during his eight years on the staff, with six 20-win seasons, six NCAA appearances and two trips to the Sweet 16.

During the summer of 1999, Bill served on the staff that coached the Big East/Nike Women's Basketball All-Star Team on a five-game tour of Belgium and Germany.

Prior to his stint at BC, Bill spent four years at Stonehill. During that time, the Chieftains registered a record of 107-20 with an appearance in the Division II Fab Four in 1994.
