Bill Gibbons, Jr. is an American women's basketball head coach at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. Gibbons is one of the longest tenured coaches in the NCAA Division 1, having debuted as coach during the 1985-1986 season. In 2007, Gibbons was an assistant coach on the United States squad that won the gold medal in women's basketball at the Pan American Games.

In October 2014, Gibbons was removed as head basketball coach after a former player, Ashley Cooper, filed a lawsuit against him alleging physical and verbal abuse. He was reinstated to the team in January 2015 after Holy Cross investigated and concluded that "The College believes the lawsuit's allegations have no legal merit."[1]

He was born and raised in Worcester and graduated from Clark University with his B.A. and M.A.[2]
