Bill Ferrara was hired as the St. John’s women’s basketball associate head coach in April of 2021, following four seasons as the assistant coach at the University of New Mexico.
Ferrara, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., joins the Johnnies following four seasons as an assistant coach at The University of New Mexico. During his tenure with the Lobos, Ferrara helped lead the squad to a 79-40 record, including back-to-back 20-plus win seasons. The consecutive 20-plus win seasons with Ferrara marked the first for the Lobos in over a decade. With Ferrara on staff, UNM also earned three postseason berths.
In the team’s most recent season, Ferrara helped guide the Lobos to an 11-3 record in Mountain West play, as the squad captured its first regular season championship since the 2004-05 campaign.
In charge of the post players at UNM, Ferrara served as a mentor for Jaisa Nunn, a two-time All-Mountain West honoree and the 2018-19 Mountain West Player of the Year.
Prior to his time at UNM, Ferrara was an assistant coach at the University of Florida from 2015-2017. During his tenure with the Gators, Ferrara helped the team earn a no. 5 seed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Ferrara played a key role in the Gators’ offensive performance that season, as they led the SEC in scoring for the first time in program history.
Before his time at Florida, Ferrara spent two seasons at George Washington University where he played an instrumental role in recruiting, player development, strength and conditioning as well as working with post players. He helped the Colonials earn a no. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament in addition to a program-record 29 wins (29-4 record) during the 2014-15 season.
Ferrara began his coaching career at Central Michigan (2008-11) before taking on the role as recruiting coordinator at Hofstra. While with the Pride, he helped assemble the sixth-best recruiting class among mid-majors in 2012 according to ESPN Hoopgurlz.
Ferrara graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in business management in 2003 before earning a master’s degree in sport management in 2005.
