Annalicia Goodman has been appointed as the Director of Operations and assistant coach for the LSU New Orleans Privateers women's basketball team, a move that will take effect for the 2026‑27 season.
Championship Pedigree Meets New Opportunities
Goodman spent four years as a player at James Madison University, where she helped the Dukes win a Sun Belt postseason championship and a 30‑win season, and she was part of the 2023 NCAA Tournament team. After her playing career she served as a graduate assistant, contributing to a staff that finished 26‑9, captured the Sun Belt postseason title, and earned a 14th NCAA Tournament berth.
Head Coach Trelanne Powell praised Goodman's dedication and work ethic, saying her blend of on‑court experience and administrative insight makes her a pivotal figure for the program's future.
Goodman expressed excitement about shaping student‑athletes both on and off the court, citing her Bachelor's in Health Science earned in 2024 and a Master's in Adult Education and Human Resources completed in 2026 as foundations for her approach.
Having contributed to a 26‑9 record last season and a semifinal performance where she scored 13 points in just 17 minutes, Goodman arrives with a proven knack for impact moments that could translate into immediate competitive advantage for the Privateers.
