Molly Colleen Goodenbour (born February 8, 1972) is a former college and professional basketball player and current head coach of the San Francisco Dons women's basketball team.
Goodenbour graduated from Waterloo West High School in Waterloo, Iowa and went on to play basketball at Stanford from 1989 to 1993. Goodenbour was a freshman reserve guard on Stanford's 1990 National Championship team. As a junior in 1992, she was named Most Outstanding Player as Stanford repeated as national champions in 1992. In the tournament, she set the record for most three-pointers made with 18.
Goodenbour was named to the team representing the USA at the 1995 Pan American Games, however, only four teams committed to participate, so the event was cancelled.
Following her college career, Goodenbour played professional basketball for Linkspring Dambasket in Sweden in the 1995–96 season, then played in the American Basketball League for the Richmond Rage in 1996–97 and the Portland Power in 1997–98, and for the Sacramento Monarchs of the WBNA in 1999–2000.
Goodenbour coached women's basketball for one year in 1994–95 for the University of San Francisco before embarking on her professional career. She returned to coaching in 2002 as associate head coach at Santa Rosa Junior College. She became head coach in 2003, guiding the team to two conference titles. She was named Bay Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 2005. In 2005, she returned to USF as lead assistant coach for one season, then was hired as head coach for the Chico State Wildcats in 2006. She was named California Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year in 2008 as the Wildcats compiled a 28–6 record and finished the season ranked 17th in the Division II Coaches Poll.
