With Good on staff, the Bulldogs posted four straight 20-win seasons, won three Southern Conference championships and advanced to the postseason twice.

Good arrived at Samford after serving as an assistant coach at Mountain Brook High School from 2015-20. He helped lead the Spartans to three 7A state titles (2019, 2018, 2017), one 7A runner-up (2020) and an overall record of 152-22. During his time at Mountain Brook, the Spartans eclipsed the 30-win mark four times including a 34-3 record in 2018, while ranking No. 17 in the USA Today national rankings, and a 31-3 record in 2019 while ranking No. 5 in the USA Today national rankings.

Prior to his time at Mountain Brook, Good taught physical education and coached basketball at Thompson High School and Thompson Middle School from 2012-15.

From 2007 to 2012, Good was a video coordinator at UAB as the Blazers notched four straight 20-win seasons, four postseason appearances (NCAA-2011; NIT-2010, 2009, 2008) and a 107-57 overall record, claiming a CUSA conference championship in 2011. Good also served as a graduate assistant at Eastern Michigan from 2005-07.

Good began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Shepherd High School in Michigan from 2004 to 2005, helping lead the team to a 19-2 record and a conference title.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in sports studies from Central Michigan in 2004 and later added a master’s in sports management from Eastern Michigan in 2010 and a master’s in education from UAB in 2012. 

Good and his wife, Lucy have two daughters, Addie Mae and Evie Kate.
