Phil Goodwin enters his sixth campaign as the Head Baseball Coach of the Buccaneers.
A veteran of the Memphis Baseball Scene since 1976, Goodwin returned to Christian Brothers University as its Head Baseball Coach in August of 1999. Coach Goodwin replaced long time Head Coach and Current Director of Athletics Joe Nadicksbernd, whom he assisted from 1988-1990.

Goodwin has served as a high school coach at Kingsbury, Whitehaven, Christian Brothers, and Cordova High Schools, amassing a 72% winning percentage. Goodwin’s teams won Memphis City and District Championships on two occasions and has sent several players on to the college level. Goodwin began the high school program at Cordova High School in 1997 and with Sophomores only, took his second squad to a third place finish in the traditionally tough District 15 AAA. From 1990-1996, Coach Goodwin served in several capacities for the Memphis Chicks Professional Baseball Club. At the time, the Chicks were the AA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.

A 1976 graduate of The University of Tennessee at Martin, Coach Goodwin and wife Debbie have two sons, Casey (10) and Jeff (8).
